Hi, Steph and all I agree. The list in its actual shape really sucks. We lost some valuable daily posters, and we added a really f...ng idiot. I ignored him to death, but the problem is most posters reply to his idiot posts. The best thing is to ignore him. This list is cyclic, or bipolar if you want to call it that way. It goes from absolutely fantastic to pure disaster in a matter of days, but the good times are well worth the effort. The problem is the last "low point" is getting long. Regards
