So perhaps the goal of the game is not to see how long it takes us to ban someone from the list for odd posts as to see how much confusion and contention such posts can generate among the rest of the members of the list, and how much time and bandwidth we will waste discussing it . . . ? -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America!
