Well, now that I can see the light of day w/o the apprearance of a
hangover I apologize for calling Jim a rambler. However, I don't think
pontificate is strong enough a word to describe some of his posts. :)
Talk about visual language........I too would rather do anything than

Don't kill yourself, Swump, looking for a new ads free list. It would
be nice but so far what we have been messing with seems too self limiting

we will give it another try.
I agree with the Commander. Let's just stay where we are and put up with
the bullshit for now. What say ye Juan and Dave?
