IMHO: There are [or at least there were, "in the past"] places (like, in certain Usenet news groups), where the snippety arrogance is [/was], "Piled Higher & Deeper" -- [by far] -- than here on PLUG-Discuss. OTOH, there may be some places that are (usually) more polite. But overall, in my experience, considering the speed and quality of help / advice available, and the tone here  (which does have its ups and downs), I would give PLUG a "reasonably nice" rating. YMMV. -- Mike Schwartz Glendale  AZ schwartz@acm.org --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
