Hi Tania, Welcome to the list....and I do hope you are going to find something/somebody useful to you..whether it's brushing or FLOSSing...there are a lot of discussions that go on on this list that seem to cover all the topics under the sun, and some above it...and sometimes a lot of art...with a capital F! Why do you call FLOSS a peculiar movement? (I am NOT involved in any of it...I can barely send email!) Cheers, Deepa.
