Ahem...Hur!!!...Hahh... Patewy!!....  (skattering of dust and cobwebs)

Well.....  it's been a while since I've posted my useless drivel
on a regular basis, so I thought I'd pipe up when I saw a Joel
Walker 'and' a rare Derek Drew post under the same subject heading... ;)

(and also to get one in before this otherwise useless thread gets killed)

I sure some of you remember some of my blabbering back in the early
beginnings of this list and that ill fated one that came before it
in early '94....

But, I think Derek is more than right.  But there are other reasons
that some of us don't post as liberally as we did before.  These
days, I'm extremely busy with work and have been for the last 3
years.  I had to unsubscribe my work account and resubscribe on
my home account and can only skim most of the articles which is
okay, because I've seen most of it over an over again.  I'm not
complaining, just stating fact.  BTW, if you don't like this tread,
or any other thread, don't complain about it, just don't read it.
Use your delete option, that's what it's there for....

And Derek, I'm sure if you wanted to burn off the fat to see the meat
of my posts, I'm afraid you'd end up with an empty pan!!!!   ;)

Cheers!
