However, I take umbrage at the thought that a purely technical list is 
good for everybody, there is something to learn in every humorous, or sad 
story. OTOH Ranting and raving are best left private (unless it is about 
a supplier or workshop). Sometimes this is the only way for people to 
connect with others that may have a clue about their problem (non-LBC 
related) and usually they preface their comment or subject line in that 
way. As for wasting "human bandwidth" I think four responses was e'nuff.
