Actually, I have to agree with Lee, the OT list has largely been flame wars and policitally motivated ones at that. Not to mention a lot of anti-american (and anti North Amercian) mud slinging. I've taken to popping in..opening a couple of posts and then toasting every message on the list. I'll be unsubscribing to that list as soon as I can get around to it because it is most definitely not a friendly place. If I want flame wars about politics and religion I can go to the local bar, thanks. ttfn John
