The milk of human kindness is failing to soften this bowl of serious. Maybe all list posters need a color code. Rank newbies who know neither netiquette nor Macs are white, like virgins. Grizzled veterans are green. Blue, red and brown are in between. Just like karate. Blues answer white questions.
