Since most of us are sick of this stupid thread, and don't want to see it in the PICLIST any more, I have created a new mailing list to be used for all future discussions of whether the PICLIST should be replaced by a newsgroup, and all voting on that issue. The address of the new list is .....piclist-replacement-newsgroup-listKILLspam@spam@brouhaha.com> To subscribe to this list, send a private message to piclist-replacement-newsgroup-list-requestKILLspambrouhaha.com Be forewarned that no discussions or voting that takes place on the piclist-replacement-newsgroup-list will be binding in any way. Henceforth, if people try to bring up this topic again in the PICLIST, please notify them via private email that they should use the piclist-replacement-newsgroup-list instead. Eric
