Well, I confess I like playing in cyberland and spend way too much time on this
little box...but, hey, I'm a "condo commando" and have little else to wile away
the hours until I return to work....but the freelists process is a major
pain...my vote is to stay where we are until I win the lottery when I'll fund
jim's idea (our own server).

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
put up with MSN...but I don't think I would go so far as to lick dog
hair off the floor.
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
for the masses. If in your spare time (ha!) you run across something
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?
