Marc - I love this list and reading your stuff - when you get on a rant I just brew a cuppa and settle back - its like going on a journey, one never knows what emotions will be invoked or where you will be taken. So as Tom Lehrer sang in his song about the Supreme Court and pornography - "Don't let them take it away!" The tone of the list is 440 middle 'C' and just fine.

Perpetuating interest in the topic should be considered. Searching through archives does not give the confirmations a know-nothing investigator needs. There's nothing like an active group. I'm sure the questions and answers are old to some of you vets, but they're not to a lot of us. I am thankful of all the effort that goes into maintaining this list, and would miss it should go down.
