Thanks for sharing but I don't (and never have, nor desire to) bottom
post. I'm game for not going out-of-bounds on topics and don't mind
keeping things brief (I usually skip long email anyway - not enough time
to read all of that). Otherwise I'm with you on being consistent. I
usually hi-jack threads out of laziness (but am refraining from that now
for Michael's sake) and have posted the same way for the past couple of
years that I've been a part of ALE. I'm consistent...
<rant>
To each their own...that's why we drive Linux eh? I'll live with basic
ground rules of marking OT threads and keeping to Linux subject matter.
As much as it pains me I will stay away from politics and matters of
faith on-channel...and I will not engage in flaming another fellow ALEer
even if I completely disagree with him/her. Scout's Honor....Nuf

All Hail Galaxar!
