Okay, speaking of threads that need to close... this one just got added to
the list. Everyone step back and cool off some. If you've ot problems with
how the list's run, tell me. I can't fix what I don't know is broken. For
example, the off-topic posts. I catch what I can. Something you think I
miss...? Fire it at me. Guarantee I don't miss twice. Some of you know this
from experience... some of you will.
James,
List Admin
