Tom, Tris, and others ...
One on the reasons that I enjoy this list is because of the frequent
off topic threads that develop. When I first joined the list some
of the long OT threads would begin to bug me ... but my pre-pubescent
son showed me a secret technique ... just tap the key labeled "Delete"
and the offending post magically disappear!
Regards,
