I have been reading this thread with much glee!

This is a PRIME EXAMPLE of why I no longer suggest this list to my customers.

A few short days ago, I was raked over the proverbial coals for complaining about large attachments. It seems that I happened to step on the toes of some of the 'powers that be'. Here, we have these diatribes and nary a word from those said 'powers'! I love it! I love the hypocrisy! ... from the political "He also protected thousands of archaeological sites, dinosaur tracks, fossils,....... Thousands more square miles need to be protected too, as soon as possible. Thank you Mr. President." ... to the mud slinging! ... a truly professional group dedicated to the love of science!

Go for it, guys! Get down and wallow in the mud! There seems to be plenty of company!
