Any attempt at segregating thought into a single subject invariably fails as the creative minds, and the conversations wander. Rigid enforcement of such segregation only serves to stifle the conversation, and causes the creative juices to dry up...both on subject, and off. The proper time for the segregation is after the conversation is done, which is the function of an editor, and a search engine. If only such existed for these groups... I have always preferred to think of time-nuts as a place to go when you want to see what people that have a strong interest in the measurement of time think of various topics that are sort of related to time. -Chuck Harris Morris Odell wrote: >> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Remotely read power meters >> >> >> This is OT for time-nuts.
