List, I "used" to enjoy this list until this kind of "stuff" started getting posted! I've been here for years and yes, I've screwed up a few times too, but never with things like this. I agree with you David. Post this kind of stuff somewhere else! I'm sticking in for a little while, though. I just hate the thought of people who post things like that driving me off the list I've been on for years and years! Sorry for my rant. It'll be the last time! I promise!
