Tough call.  I belong to the LiLUG, liphp, OpenOffice, azphp,& PLUG 
lists, and I like what I read here. I have actually read more useful 
stuff from this list than any other. I would be in favor of more people 
asking or welcoming off list traffic for odd ball stuff. Today I learned 
about thumbnail generation on this list using either Java or php, and in 
the php list I was given a bunch of code to look at and a good luck 
gesture. They didn't even tell me about 'Gallery'. I will draw the line 
though when it comes to OT stuff like 'Phoenix Drivers'. I also have 
several folders set up in Thunderbird for email. I get more porn, viagra 
spam though, and I can't get rid of it...
