We've already had this discussion, and there's no need to bring it up again, but the last I checked this was a free list, and NO ONE should have to feel intimidated or afraid to post something. I have no intention of disappearing from the list or occasionally posting a joke/limerick/funny story. We have already agreed to keep such postings to a small amount, just when something strikes us as humorous, so there should be no worries about cluttering the list or taking away from its academic purposes. We shouldn't have to post in secret and in fear. 'nuff said! Tim Rayborn %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
