Amen and thanks for sending that! This list is indeed
very self-righteous and religious. Your point regarding
the archives is right on. They are almost worthless
for finding serious resolutions to problems.

I couldn't help seeing your signature. My family lives in
Leicester and Asheville. I used to live in South Hominy
Valley off of Glady Fork Rd.

I was wondering if you know my old college mentor 
(UNC-Asheville) - Joe Daugherty? He's in computer
science.

 Again, well said on your post.

Mike
