I thought the standard protocol when there may be some concern as to whether a subject being discussed might be considered iffy is to prefix the subject line with "OT". You've certainly done that in the past, quite effectively I might add. Also, based on past history I get the impression that certain "off topic" discussions only become issues when trolls attach themselves and begin infecting various subject threads with politically charged rants. Last time that happened was when he-who-shall-remain-nameless, the "Grok" persona, got thrown off the list by Mr. Beatty, when he refused to conform to a modicum of net civility. It also probably doesn't hurt to mention the fact, and especially to Vort participants who don't live within the United States, that we're gearing up for another election season. We all seem to catch "the bug" to some extent. We survived. Keep those suitcases coming, Jed. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
