I'm wondering if the word "grub" is appropriate for the practice of posting for trivial message numbers.

Jbe: Maybe I should do a similar job on the antiquated old rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition. That should be fun and informative. I think it might have been Churchill, who when criticized for this "infraction", said: "That is a situation up with which I will not put!" Clever man. On the other side of the same coin, we are nowadays forced to suffer the ubiquitous "where is he at?" God help us. Other shudder-producing language barbarisms include, just to start: "Lay down a while and rest." "Why don't you come to dinner with my wife and I?" I can't go on. Jack
