Hello All; Compared to some I'm a relative newcomer to Arachne and this list. Arachne has only very recently come to be the browser of choice for me on this platform - the only platform I have with enough horsepower to run it effectively - and a platform where I could just as easily run Netscape but don't. My '486 at the office is a bit more challenged so the situation is reversed - both are loaded, but only NS gets the exercise. I just want to say, for whatever it's worth, I've stayed with Arachne mostly because of the list. If it hadn't existed I'm sure I would now view Arachne much as I do Lynx - from a distance - interesting, but only worth an occasional try once in a while to see if it is more than a nice idea. Just like TSX. But the list makes the difference for me. I enjoy the generosity and good humor demonstrated daily by the participants. Some are truly exceptional in their dedication and positive attitude to the cause. One individual has contributed more than enough positive feedback to make up for the sum of all the occasional negative vibes of the rest. We all know who that person is, and we also know that geniuses can make mistakes or have a bad day too. In my slightly newbie opinion, I think we can easily tolerate the 50-50 ratio of OT to Arachne stuff on the list needed just to keep us awake, and any half-baked idea that might touch on Arachne should be welcome as belonging in the On Topic category, even if there is a slight chance that it might generate false hope. <g> Read that any way you want to. - Clarence Verge - Using Arachne V1.62 for a change....
