Just a comment on all this, for what it is worth.  First, it sounds like 
there were a really great bunch of people here before I came aboard, and 
I am sorry that I missed them.  :-(  Second, I would like to really, 
really compliment the people who run the piclist.  Although not a member 
of this particular list for all that long (perhaps 3 or 4 years -- not 
sure) I was a contributing member of different Usenet groups for a long, 
long time.  Before there was a world-wide web. 

This seems to be a very well run list, with a core of contributing 
people who are experts and also good people.  I have been on other lists 
where there were experts, but they were not necessarily good people.  
And vice-versa.  I cannot help but wonder why a list of people who are 
mainly concerned with a $2 chip (more or less) are like that?  Probably 
for the same reason that people who bother to learn the Morse code are 
better hams.  (That was a gratuitous comment, and a peeve of mine, so 
just ignore it if you happen to disagree). 

I also think that James And His Cohorts run an exceptionally tight 
ship.   They seem to know just when to crack down, without being 
obnoxious about it   Having been "zinged" myself by them, I can 
appreciate that -- it is a thankless job.  So I am hereby thanking  
them.  :-)

Anyway ... for what it is worth (about what you paid for it).

John
