Barry, your message is not falling on deaf ears..... you just covered everything too well. My thoughts: 1. Freelist works up to a point. If screenshots or files are needed, this is usually done directly by email and the other members who are interested in the outcome are left hanging on a resolution. There could be an unwritten rule that the original poster should summarize the fix for everyone. 2. Forums are forums and muglo is muglo. Please leave it this way. 3. The fleamarket approach to meetings is more popular. 4. The coffee shop locale is a good idea, but what owner would put up with us? 5. Rap is not sad, it is an abomination! 6. You infer that being a grumpy old coot is a bad thing.
