Hi Marilyn, I enjoyed your story - it was the pub talk that was getting to me. A couple people claimed they were leaving yesterday (and used the f* word!!! Hey, that's MY Job, as the Belfast joke goes....) but might be still here if they haven't figured out how to get off the list. Hehehe, I love it when people insult me/us and then need help leaving <grin>. So humiliating ...... I try to remember that when getting out of control on other lists <grin>.

There is no happy medium. Personally I value participants much more than I do guys who never post but are the first to complain we aren't entertaining them the right way. (It's okay to 'lurk' -- don't feel compelled to post. It can be intimidating, I know).

Besides I like it when my cage rattles a little. Helps keep me awake.

Oops...sorry Linda. I was just telling a little story about a great memory.
Didn't mean to rattle your cage.
