Dearest friends and colleagues,
By my (very likely imprecise) count, the last ten posts in this thread
have added little by way of technical content to the original topic.
I offer this comment as a gentle reminder that most - perhaps all - of
the 881 current subscribers to our little kaffeeklatsch are very busy
people. Please be respectful of the time and attention each of our
members requires in order to participate in the discussion by
restraining the urge to take threads such as this one on a romp through
the off-topic briar patch.
My friends, I beseech you: Let it go. Write it if you must, but then
carefully step away from the "send" button and instead cache those
sparkling gems of wit in the "drafts" folder for some other mailing
list, on some other day.
With most kind regards,
-dan.
