Seems to me that a "hill of beans on a gnat's ass" would be a rather significant burden for the gnat.

My take on sig files is: what's next, religion? Mine's bigger than yours? Pro life? Pro choice? Nuke the unborn gay whales for Jesus? Etcetera ad nauseum?

Yeah, I'm right on the verge of pulling the plug on this list. Too bad too; I just got my stickers (thanks Karl, maybe I'll see you in AZ someday as I'm moving to Flagstaff in about 4 years). Memories of what could have been. The 1 to 5 % of meaningful information just doesn't seem worth having to weed through all the crap (I'm sure there is someone out there making sure I spel everything right, and will let me know just how smart they are for catching it, and bringing it to everyone's attention). Too much personal agenda, too few VW nuggets.

ps: My nude fotographs (sic), and mp3 files don't have a thing to do with my yin/yang (sic). See, I can do it too! I'm just not really enjoying it. -------------------------------------------------------------- t wrote:
