Leif, who hasn't been heard from for awhile, has an excellent history of Fish--specifically the species, Trout--on this list. Allie and Marck are also good with explanations of this. It's a running joke. When a moderator finds it necessary, after several reminders, to write really firmly to a list poster about list rules and protocols, the firm message is referred to as a Trout. So when Thomas says he hears a fish flying toward him and a fellow poster, he means they are getting Off Topic. One of the no-nos. Toward which you and I are also now dangerously veering. :) BTW, off-thread here, sort of: I am against those X-ray faces, too. And also the pictures with my messages. I like my text plain vanilla, being a highly verbal type and not at all at home in graphics. It's a spatial orientation thing. :) I don't do well in the midst of distractions. But to each his own. :) -- Best regards, Mary ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
