Well, many good reasons, the presence of myself being one of them :). Quoting an earlier comment from BenT where I learned that I had (rather flagrantly!) violated this: "Friday is free for all -- almost. Politics are still technically a no-no unless you are running a grassroots effort to amend the Constitution so BenT may run for President." Technically, I think, all of this discussion of rules should be a Friday topic. If not, I move that it be made so, and this posting itself be declared out of order :). mike |
