I agree, and so try to keep it to an absolute minimum. It is only when I
can't get at the answer through regular channels.....

I know he is concerning the off-topics and top-posting. I agree with him on
those. This reminds me of something. I used to work for a French company
and every three months I would go to Paris for a week on business. They
told me the difference between the Germans, the French and the Americans.
To the Germans a schedule is just that. You stick to the schedule --- even
it no longer makes sense.
To the French a schedule is a suggestion.
To the Americans a schedule is just that, but you can change the schedule to
changing conditions.
I like to think of myself as American. I guess Jerry is "German".
Another way of looking at it is that there is always a small percentage of
bugs and stuff in all the processed food we eat. It is kept below some very
low level. If we insisted on absolutely zero level, then we would starve.
I like to eat.
So while I generally follow the rules, there ARE exceptions. To minimize
the effect of that, I put our a roadsign of "OT:". Unfortuanately, some
people can't drive.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.
