P-List traffic

[Ya Sam]

Upon second thoughts I have to recognise that of all people, Toby has the 
right to raise this issue, as his M&D reading marathon was one of the most 
relevant threads this year.

Still no need to be harsh to the high traffic as it quite often conceals the 
outbursts of creative discussions.  Nothing beats them in terms of 
generating new ideas.
