Just a quick note... (I promise!)
I tend to agree here... even though some questions may seem off-topic,
it may not be for others. Part of what I like about this message forum
is that it is not so strict, or anal, for lack of a better word. I like
the loose, non-formal atmosphere on this message base, even though it
fills my inbox with dozens of e-mails!
Just my two cents... :-)
