Next time you have a chat with friends, try this: Get a stopwatch. Make a rule that before anyone says anything, they must repeat everything that's been said up to that point. Start the stopwatch and the conversation simultaneously. Stop the stopwatch when this gets tedious. Compare this to how long it takes to read a single day's digest. Sorry for perpetuating this OT subject, but I get tired of seeing people like Peter and Ray (and probably me) blasted just for suggesting a little more courtesy. People swear by Mike Bowers' administrivia posts, but do they actually even read them? He's preaching the same thing! === -DrJ- Helotes, Texas PGP Public Key at: http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x01BC316C _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
