This got bumped back to me, and the Waste site was down.  So sorry if this gets
posted twice...

and uh stiff. No horsing around. No getting to know each other as people over a

I agree with your assessment above.  Also, I hate the formatting of the posts
as they arrive in the form of "forwards" through the mailbox of the moderator,
full of ">"'s preceding every line, making the posts nearly unreadable.  Just
try reading the archives and you'll see what I mean.
