Yes.

Yes.  And, I have already seen a few and I must say that, in the heat of it
all, you rate right up there with the best of them.

I think you are right, again.  Of course, if everyone did it then that would
change the character of the group and group conscience might change on the
matter.  But, of course, to argue that everyone would do it would be
falacious.

Although there may not be any precedence for notes that are 100% personal in
nature (ie, most all of the personal stuff to which you refer is only
incidental to the technical - isn't it?), I'll be checking out most all of
them.

This is one reason why I would not be too quick on the delete key.  It takes
something a little extra for someone to post to this group and if they have
it, then I'm probably gonna' check out anything they write.

I probably wouldn't have responded to this, but my level has already pretty
much been exposed.

Thanks for all your great contributions, Hans.
