Nah, Cyril, burnin's too good for the varmint!!  Mebee a sesshun in "Gitmo"
wull straytun 'im owt!  Thun agin,  wot can ya expekt,  onin one uv them thar
air contrapshuns wot flys backwoods??  Leest he'll get an ideah of wot a reuhl
airyplane is on thuh way ovah thar!!

Seriously guys,  I really like the way this list is.  If I have one complaint,
(well, ... maybe two or three), it's that some of the posters don't trim the
quotebacks as Marv has requested, and they don't bother to adjust the subject
line when the subject is changed considerably.  

A third minor complaint is that some continue to "bottom post" (a habit
probably carried over from ACRE).  This REALLY becomes a pain when the message
isn't trimmed, and is full of six or eight iterations of quotebacks,  which
basically have nothing to do with the stated subject except maybe the first
couple.

Apart from that, leave it alone.  Don't try to fix what 'ain't broke!!

Hoo Roo,

Leon
