Geez, don't insult Dan by mistaking him for me!!! Actually I've been struggling through?6 weeks?of no internet access from Verizon & now the computer itself has died. As a result I've only been able to access the group from work for 5 of the last 6 weeks, which means Dan & probably Eric have been having to do more than thier share of maintaining the list. Actually they do all the heavy lifting anyway. I just approve posts & ban the occasional spammer & delete their posts (which is why you don't see offers here to improve your health, wealth, appendages, etc. all by fantastic proportions). One thing Dan said though which pre-empted my putting it out in a much more gruff manner than he did, is to trim the extra verbage from your replies. Now that that seems to be in discussion it sounds like that aspect will improve as well. I had been skipping over the "Decimator, Elect. College, Sewing Machine, etc." posts & didn't realize they were starting to get so heated or OT. Well, skipping over may not be the right term........getting serious?index finger?cramps from trying to scroll over said subjects would be closer, hence the reminder about trimming the excess.?Also thanks to Bruce for his post trying to put things back into perspective.
