I enjoyed the article, David. Well written, concise, and  correct.


Okay dued, you are skating way too close to the edge. We're second  
class in here, and being eloquent and right is kinda dicey. 8^) You're  
going to have to display some incompetence and quick man!

Anyone else notice that the CWops membership is set up kind of like a  
fraternity?

Having to be nominated and sponsored by 4 current members,  
blackballing, (if an objection to the nomination) that weird and  
cryptic no test, unless the sponsors want one. Sounds like hazing  
time. How about chugging beer until you hit only 5 wpm.

Did anyone catch the "stonecutters" episode of "The Simpsons"?  
Coincidence? I think not!
