Tim,

I don't know about your original post, but, yes this is a strange lot.
Much interest in "siliness" abounds. My Delete key, along with most
members', is well used.  It has to be to survive(in the "real world"),
and be on the list.

With so many members it seems that responses only come in from those
interested in whatever the question is.  Repeat posts are not uncommon
for simple questions sometimes.

Don't be discouraged.  But, do check the archives first.  Questions
which are easily answered by a query are often ignored.  If the archives
are down ( and you have to wait a while sometimes for a response)
mention that in your post.
