List:

I have to jump in here.  I agree with the above.  I rarely post anymore.  BUT 
let me state, that after 4 years of being on different digests and forums, 
this is the only ONE I still subscribe to. That should say something - from 
someone who was reading almost 300 emails per day. Although this list waivers 
off topic from time to time, Mike D. has done an excellent job.  And 
diplomatically, I might add.  The occasional Chuckerisms, etc. are welcome 
rays of light and hope.

With my 2 cents (about all I have left - laid off 3 times this year)
