Not really a problem, as this will give me time to read my October TRAINS issue cover to cover. Besides, my wife would boil me in oil if I were on my computer during that time period and not sleeping.

But..........Hope no wild changes are inserted.  Just getting used  to what we have now.

who would decide who are _trolls_? Or do you mean People who don't always agree with you;?

No, Socrates, slightly condensed to stay within the limits of the signature size. By the way, there is a comment on it somewhere on the net that says that 2000 years before someone made a similar comment... Haven;t checked it yet.
