Well put, Jon... :)

Could I add a vote for a FOURTH rule: NO "ME TOO" POSTS!!! When someone
offers to email something to any members that want it, and asks those
interested to reply to him BY PERSONAL EMAIL, could people PLEASE
actually
take note of this and think before hitting the "reply" button?? This has
recently happened (yet again) with the FT design spreadsheet that Schoon
has been offering - he did exactly the right thing and asked for
personal
responses only, but there have been a load of people ignoring this and
replying via the list.
