Subject:Re: Another crazy Leslie idea?

Hey Ron,

Lighten up a little. These threads pop up once in a while and I think
we all really know we are trying to reinvent the wheel and as futile
as it may seem we might learn something in the process... or not.

In any case it sounds like you disapprove. My suggestion to you is to
get the daily digest if you don't have it already and just ignore the
threads you are not interested in.

Cheers,
Rock
