Fellow listers, some of you anyway: Not enough already, but please, please, too much long ago. I don't (very) much mind the occasional snap at each other, or even a bit of mild needling now and then, but when it gets so that I have to WADE through my inbox to find the minority of messages that actually matter a damn to anyone but the protagonists, I feel justified in a protesting grizzle or so. Please, do not feel called upon to respond either to me or to each other with deathless, deadly repartee, unless it happens to include something actually useful to at least a large minority of the audience. A bit of silence would be gowd enow for a' that. Of course your bandwidth consumption on private channels would attract fewer admirers, but far more heartfelt gratitude. Happy Sunday everybody! Jon
