Just out of curiosity, why did this response get cross posted to techdiver
when the original was only on cavers?  Just trying to keep the S/N ratio down
by suggesting we keep cavers traffic on cavers and techdiver traffic on
techdiver.  (Sure there is material which is applicable to both but sarcasm
appears to be more appropriately left on cavers) ;)  The main complaint is 
that a lot of responses get posted here without copying the original post
from cavers and it gets confusing ( and no I don't want to follow cavers!).

OK, I've got my asbestos suit on so go ahead and flame away!
