You might want to re-post this with a relevant subject header.  People  
filtering through off-topic posts probably marked this as read without  
reading it :)  Seriously.

Agreed with the other comments: because many of us know each other  
face-to-face, we get a little friendly around here.  No biggie, I didn't  
feel like reading through all of the "top posting is better" commentation,  
so I just lightning-marked them "read".

And just as stated by others, this is one of the best lists around.  I  
just filtered through a really bad M$ vs OFSS flame war on AZIPA.  Things  
got really vulgar, and the thread not only went on forever, but spilled  
over onto other threads.  You don't see that here.  I guess it's just like  
police enforcement on the Las Vegas strip, it looks like there are no  
rules, but there are, it's just different.  You can drink in public and  
flash your breasts, okay, but don't do anything _really_ wrong, like throw  
glass or lift people's wallets.
