Just to butt in on Rick's territory...

Actually Shane it was me coming in onto you guys groups territory ..yes
I know it's a public forum and is everyone's, but out of respect I see
yourself and Noel spend so much quality volunteer time helping others in
the ME group, for conversation sake I'll call it yours group ..and by
all means chime in anytime you would like - all of your help and knowledge
and valuable time you all volunteer is appreciated. My own schedule these
days does not allow me to post as much as I would like.

I can't quite figure whether I agree or disagree with you! I suspect this
group is unique due to the nature of the Win ME OS - that is, the type of
people who use it, and the type who in despising it mostly stay away. imo
more than any other group, this one's like a social club, you know? Win 3.x
groups attract real crazies, DOS groups are expert-only, plenty of good guys
use 98, but so do the 9x fascists, etc etc etc. Ok so it's only a
hypothesis, but what's important is *I* believe it! :-) Seriously, anyone
who wants to help, who values an atmosphere of mutual respect and who'd
rather read or write a gag than a complaint, is welcome here.

I did post a hell of a lot of (attempted) help once upon a time, but post
comparatively little these days. Noel remains prolific though!
