Why would they freak out? Most all the other groups don't have any posting limits. They often just have rules about staying on topic to what the group is about and a moderator or two who enforce it. FFL is an "anything goes" so there really is no topic rule. It's a place to discuss life after or doing TM. > > I'm still miffed at yahoo that paging is now a scrolling process that JUMPS > in the middle of the page and one has to pick an item that is easy to find > and then backtrack to it in order to see the inbox items that were jumped > over! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr There's a youth paradigm in Sillyconned Valley where they like to turn young programmers loose on things apparently believing they'll do something innovative.

Some Islamic folks wanted to buy it but she confided in me that she didn't think it would go through because they wouldn't go to a bank to get financing and their own system probably wouldn't loan them that kind of money.
