More power to Tom!  And I agree with Ronnie.  Nothing like the BIG X or
delete key to handle this, if your cheeks aren't too tightly puckered to
handle that.  Or, there's the kindergarten approach:  if we can't play
by my rules I'll take my marbles and go sulk, i.e. unsubscribe.

There's information as well as good ole humor in <OT> posts.  Yes there
is the General list as well where really serious and lengthy <OT> stuff
belongs.

Long live tolerance!
