Kevin. RB would be fine with me also, especially since they're willing to set up the same thread name. Russ

RE "backup" top SI: As much as I hate Yahoo because of the tone of its members, I'd vote for it as a backup because the posts are easier to read than on RB (at least for me -- I use large fonts, and RB's posts sit so low on the screen that I constantly have to scroll down -- Yahoo's posts are "centered" even with large fonts). Two points, however (all IMHO, of course): 1) Need to at least TRY to make sure that any Yahoo thread is specifically designated as a backup to Kimberly's SI thread -- and that it contains a very stern "admonition" in the header, stating that we don't want any of the usual Yahoo HYPE being posted. That probably won't stop "outsiders" from messing it up a bit, but may at least help. 2) Everybody here should plan on RETURNING here once any SI problems are solved (anybody who checks and finds SI back "up" should just let us all know, and then we head back). That's because we still retain more control on what's posted here than we will on Yahoo, simply by virtue of the fact that people have to PAY to be able to post on SI (Beyond the trial period) -- which should keep-out many of the "yahoos" who constantly post on Yahoo and RB. Just my thoughts -- AND, I suggest that we wait and let KIMBERLY have the final-say over any such plan. She may object -- or may have her own ideas how to set things up... Vagabond
