That was excellent! I was trying to think of something clever like that myself, but I figured somebody would save me the trouble, and I was right. I have no problem discussing changes to the KR, as the old timers know. At least it has something to do with KRs, which is more than I can say for a lot of the posts made to this list. I would like to remind folks that saying "thanks" is something that would be better to send direct to the recipient, rather than to 650 people, or at least tack it onto some bit of useful KR information...
