After subscribing to this list a few weeks ago I have noticed several things interesting about it: * It generates more messages by far that any other list. Thank God I have a decent email client. * It serves to remind me daily of the nature of puter geeks (I have been one since 1979), which is to always tell someone how to build a watch when they ask for the time. * Along that line is the generation of massive amounts of chaff which has to be sifted through to get to the answer, sort of like picking fly shit out of pepper. * I view all this as some kind of late-in-life penance for the sins of my youth. * In spite of all the above, I am slowly amassing a filtered list of worthwhile reference data that is actually useful and I just want to say "Thank you" to all of you who are helping in the effort.
