Hi,

Did you mean to post that to the list itself? :)

I probably shouldn't, myself; I am a bit /persona non grata/ on this
list, at least to some people. Also, this is off-topic. As you say, it
adds to the rubbish. But sometimes, I can't resist. :)

We will probably get an "Effin shut up, already!" from someone for these
posts.

Sigh.
