Read all your posts (yes, all, so far) about who to read or not.... Some very interesting points, thanks. My biggest problem is the time difference... I lurk in South Africa, so a lot goes on when I am asleep (have to sometime, you know). Also, I sometimes access this NG thru Google and sometimes thru my email client (hence the Cathy and the Cathyxyz). I digress.... as I was saying, when I get up in the morning, I usually find about 400 new posts!! I have already found some of my favourites i.e. Damsel (Carol) and don't forget Sheldon. He can be so funny!! Michael (Dog3) is cool too and I also like Jill (jmcquown).... just to mention a few, please don't take offence if I don't mention everyone! I like the way the discussion gets all over the place... my DH says its like being in a pub!
