Not really banned, Scott...but if there are rules, then adhere (except on
Frydays). I get that..I WOULD like a chat function that could be initiated
by a post to the list, but then all off topic posts handled in chat. I
haven't checked other groups because my time is limited and I value the
on-the-spot experience and advice this group offers.  Just don't agree with
stopping some posts and not tohers. That is all.  Always like talking w/you,
though. Michael.
