Jim -

For the weekend, and for  my part at least, you've got it - we be gone in 
about 20 minutes.

On a long term basis, though, you might want to think about what you really 
want out of this list.  Bottom line - all the whining and complaining is 
about whether or not this list becomes another atml.  Or maybe about whether 
it becomes merely a shadow of atml.  Is that what you want?  I don't - but 
I'm only one member of the list.  As long as we're asking the question, how 
about the rest of you?  And I'm not talking to the "regulars", to those who 
post every day, I'm talking to the lurkers.  What do you want? Do you want 
the campfire - or do you want the "issues-oriented", constant warfare list 
that RnR and Weary would like this list to become?

One thing to keep in mind - for OB, for those who understand the reference, 
the Dragon woke yesterday and only a couple hours with my grandaughter 
lulled him back to sleep.  Pray -- pray long and hard that it doesn't happen 
again.

But once again, I've let business interfere with courtesy -- I apologize for 
that.  Welcome to the campfire, Jim - pull a stump and grab a smashmellow.  
After all, if you're gonna get the flames, you might as well have a shot at 
returning them.

Walk softly,
Jim
