We seem to have the same idea if you refer to one of my posts earlier. If we can't do this on -list , lets do it off-list. Charles, Since I am guilty of "flaming you" and contradicting myself about posting OT, I again, offer my apologies. While I do still think there is a difference about that topic and this, I no less humbly admit my own contradictions. (and change of heart) I hope that the majority of the poster to this list have not already been kicked off. I hope the show of hands support OT, but if not, I would be more than happy to join an off-list list. After all...silence is not a coping mechanism. On Thursday 13 September 2001 20:30, Charles A.
