Hey Shangara....lighten up a little! Bobs post was pretty innocuous and certainly not deserving of such an, apparently, ungracious reply. IMHO this is just the sort of post that makes others hereabouts hesitate to post themselves.
I'm sorry you don't like digests...many of us do as it groups a whole days posts together for easy browsing in one email. I belong to several yahoo groups and they are excellent via email. They also get to me a damn sight quicker than posts to prodig. As for your 'signature' as far as I'm concerned its an ad whether you like it to be called that or not. I don't mind you using it and it may be within the guidelines but its still an ad. Bob certainly didn't 'pick on it' ....he simply compared it with something else he found equally acceptable.
