Dear Keith,
Might we also refrain from overquoting in our posts? It's a real pain
to search the archives and get a million hits for a phrase because
that phrase is contained in carelessly automatically-quoted material.
Your last post was twice the size it should be, and that's not even
taking into account your content, which could be condensed
considerably to make your point more effectively.
