Let's just give it some time and see. So far I really like it. This said - I use GMAIL only for cavetex and now ot-cavetex. This makes it just about perfect. I have to say I feel a little victorious in this. There were people who got pissed off in a major way because I foolishly weighed in on my personal opinions about 'creation science' and evolution - and it apparently was a tipping point. Rather than censor (or censure) people who's bad OT behavior had created frustration and irritation - the OT forum was created. I think this was a truly brilliant solution. I think it may have further irritated the more officious among us - but there's a quip I have about "people who can't take a joke"..... -Don C
