   LOL   Messages in the echos DO go a long way towards keeping echos   
   "solvent", don't they?  :)  Yeah, you guys have the most messages,   
   probably, but I do write longer ones, don't I?  (generally...)

   In these days of reduced traffic, I've noticed a lot more latitude all   
   around for "off-topic"-ish messages... :)  Not just here, but just about   
   everywhere I tend to lurk as well.  But I remember the days in GENEALOGY   
   when not only off-topic was frowned upon but also too many messages   
   answering the same question were as well.  :)  Waiting to see how many   
   others have answered is a hard habit to break, let me tell you!  :)
