Ditto,  er,  +1.   :-)

Speak for yourself, Chris.  I've developed several dozen rules in the
past month.  Unfortunately, with no system to mass-check them on, I'm
going on the theory that none, or maybe just one of them, warrants
formal submission, and that one can wait for a few more days until I
can mass-check it...

However, there are a number of rules currently in our SARE rules files
which probably are worth submitting, and as soon as I can get my
@[EMAIL PROTECTED] system running again[fn], I may do so.

[fn] Can't blame it all on MS -- almost had it running again the way I
wanted when Wednesday last week the hard drive crashed on me.
