As others have pointed out, sometimes a gentle nudge for newcommers is
better. In the past I've tried comment regarding thread hijacking, but
then often get accused of being a 'list mom' et al. Anyway, I've found
that sometimes it's just better to not reply to a thread hijacker... my
apologies to allowing this thread to drift off w/replies to Chris
regarding list RFC's.
