Fred will be back when he has something to say. He signs off and on the list frequently. He just signs off when he doesn't have time to or doesn't want to converse. I certainly do agree with use of the [OFF TOPIC] or [OT] designations when the discussion drifts completely away from a science topic. I should also note I personally have enjoyed reading some of the OT discussions. Regards, Horace Heffner
