why do I have this sinking feeling I've opened a can of worms?
okay. sticking my nose in again, then everyone can return to discussing
the topic of the list, as opposed to this historical "student in the
lecture hall" approach to lists.
Yes, lurking is a way of getting the info without sticking your foot in
your mouth (or in someone else's bottom).

Okay, excepting this time, when I came in after the big fight and am
clueless as to the meaning and the subject of it (nor do I really have an
aching need to know), but I do know that I would rather get to the
messages like what chemicals will not cause a holocaust in my darkroom
and even those can be frustrating afer the ninth copy (anyone else get
more than that?). Hence, I speak.
There. if that made _any_ sense, can I sit down now? :)
