### Jim: if you think the thread is half "nonsense", if you feel
it's not right to force the at-l to delete the other half of the
thread written by you, and if you feel that such a Trail-related
topic does not fit on the at-l, then quit responding to the
nonsense here, and start a list through yahoogroups where such
discussion would be key. 

### DON'T put it to Ryan to set up a group on HIS hardware using
HIS time to develop and maintain, and THEN leave at-l with the
godawful task of posting every day-and-a half <cue whine> "That
belongs on the ooootherrrr liiiiist, please don't bring that
topic herererererere." (I hope that whiney part translated well;
would work much better live.) Anyway, topical segregation is
patently unworkable; further, it would call for a squadron of
topic police -- you gonna head it?

### The at-l ain't broke - don't go fixin' it. And don't leave
an unworkable, untenable result in Ryan's hands for him to have
to monitor ever-after. What has developed here is a
low-maintenance, minimally time-consumptive service provided by
a guy we only rarely get to thank. If we want to keep going, we
need to keep it workable and non-intrusive on R-man.

### Yes, I have feelings on the matter.
