Hi, Have to agree with Linda's second point. TJ usually does post to the SO list, but even these are useless to me since I have a slow connection an don't want to be bothered with politically motivated rants or videos anyway. If TJ had some good taglines like Chuck, now that might be a different matter, but "God Guns and Gold ..." sucks big-time!
