While we're on these "netiquette" sorta subjects ...
Look how many corners this thread has careened around - complete with
spray of loose gravel.  I started this thread ... and it certainly has
been interesting to watch whose front yard it will drive through next!

Lordy - How I miss Newsgroups ... !
