No offense taken, and point taken, Roger.  I forgot some people use the acronyms
for sorting purposes, and it really screws you up when stuff doesn't have one.

And Joeri, you're doing a fine job and I didn't mean to imply otherwise, it's a
fairly old problem, and with the list growth, I suppose that's what's made it "new"
and so unmanageable lately.  Anyway, your idea of splitting your time to keep a
closer eye on the LUG seems like a good one, and hopefully one that won't put a
crimp in your style.  The fact that you do this for all of us goes way
unappreciated IMO, and my friend, if you're ever in Colorado, I insist on buying
you the biggest steak or veggie burger (if that's your thing) you've ever seen.  ;)

Last thing, maybe a note to the main list informing people that there IS an OT list
(some still don't seem to realize it and it is in a different location than the
main list on the Yahoo server), and a reminder that if one feels the subject is OT,
it should be in the OT list in the first go 'round, and NOT the main list.  Thanks
again for your hard work, Joeri.

Someday, we'll look back on this,
laugh nervously and change the subject.
