I have no problem with a happy birthday thread, but as Anestis observed, there were at the time I commented three going, all of them long. There are 15 messages in my Feist Fans folder and all of them are OT. 100 of the best fantasy authors and a prince is born! I did find it surprising that no on else commented on that before I did. Usually I don't say anything until someone else says, "Geeps, people! I pay by the minute to access this list on my TRS-80 using a 300 baud dial up . . . " Mat, no one's forgetting anyone's human, so you can give that a rest. I'm just saying, one more time, when you see a threat spiraling think twice before adding your bit and don't start OT threads. Best, R.E.F.
