Please Bob, would it be within the realm of your power to put EVERYBODY, 
ALL POSTERS on moderation under Olin?

The objective of this would be to prevent substandard requests and even 
substandard solutions from incompetent posters from reaching  the list.  
This should result in a peaceful, quiet, civilized list with acceptable 
standards. That says nothing of the traffic cut and the time saved by 
2000 piclisters reading those stupid questions from "lazy" people.
Another approach, even better, I think, would be to put in the list's 
rules that everybody should read everything published to date and find 
the optimum solution to their problems before even thinking of posting. 
Wouldn't that be neat? The piclisters would be so busy reading manuals 
that only Olin would be available to ask himself quality questions and 
of course, also the only one available to provide adequate answers 
leaving the other experts in awe and admiration.

Lets fix that broken list once and for all.

Gaston (half joking) :-\
