Steve, just go ahead and throw out those ideas. We'll discuss them.
<grin>  What you see is LM_NET operating on many tracks. There are
serious questions and humor and off the wall comments being made
simultaneously. The humorous threads usually have a short life span,
but some of them have been hiliarious. There has been a serious side
to the Dewey/Man discussion that I hope you didn't miss.

As you follow LM_NET, I think you'll find friends and colleagues here
that you couldn't have found before. And, if you go to conferences,
you'll actually have a chance to put names to faces.  Many of us have
been on this list for 3 or 4 years, some since the beginning. If we
use a 'chatty' 'voice', it's because we feel we are writing to
friends.

As for reading the postings, LM_NET **is** a high volume list. Many
of us have devised ways of quickly scanning the messages, instead of
reading each one. Try the un-digested form for a bit, you may find it
easier to deal with than the digest.
