I totally agree with you about the quality of SI compared to many other boards. Have a good weekend everyone and we will keep clicking next week.

I am really glad that SI charges a membership fee which seems to keep out the riff-raff that I saw on their threads. Me too. But I'm even more glad that I started my membership before they started charging and am therefore grandfathered in for free... Ah, the advantages of being a Web Old Timer... Did you know that when I posted my first home page that there were literally a few hundred commercial web sites, and only a very few had seized upon www.name.com for their name? Many actually called their sites Mosaic pages. I used my home page as a portable bookmark between work and home, but then later along came Yahoo and the other engines and now I only keep it for nostalgia. Mosaic sucked, BTW. Then Netscape stole their code and charged for their browser and Microsoft bought their code and gave their browser away, and here we are.
