I agree with that... you have given some good explanations and
as just one Induhvidual, I have appreciated it and all the useful stuff
and helpful people this list has fostered...... BUT..... my download this
morning was 144 messages.... 144... and only about 6 were about solving Van
problems... Personally ...I think it's the time of year (SAD)... and the
political MUCK you Yanks have yourselves knee deep in right now, that's
effecting the general temperament.. lets hope it all clears up SOON.

as to Bill's recommendations
>1.    Make Saturday the Vendor Specials day.

they sound good except.... for #3.... one man's ceiling is another man's
floor....We all have opinions (144 it would seem) and Hopefully we learn to
recognize, opinion & NOT take them personally (except for who they may be
addressed to), learn to enjoy the freedom of speech.... while you still have
it.... many want to control the internet (& you) because it doesn't please
their opinions, agendas, religions or mental state that day...... Tolerance
and flexibility are the talents of an advanced civilization.
