Very true. If you check the archives on a search for my name, you'll find
occasional off-topic posts from me. The group here has very intelligent
people on a variety of subjects and it is hard not to tap that fountain.
So far (5+ years in my involvement) the group is very good at self
policing and keeping the list content relevant. Also, I remember only one
real flame war in all that time. This is an extremely well behaved list!
