Okay - I have remained silent long enough.
Barr's Eighth law of information:
* if a post is made on ARSCLIST, then Barr will post to it with some kind of
response, even if it is drawn from that 99 per cent of the information that
is worthless, or is not relevant to the topic under discussion.
This is not a flame, and I am not the moderator of the list. I'm just
expressing my opinion that the ratio of noise to signal level from Steve is
favoring the noise of late. Please show some consideration, and exercise
judgment, when posting to ARSCLIST. For myself, I avoid doing so unless I
have something substantive to contribute to a given thread, or need to ask a
specific question.
