[ale] as promised/threatened, an overly long post with probably nothing of real importance

Jim --

Yes, the lock-out was a put-off but I am in no position or authority to
make demands otherwise.  No more so than any other participant here I
would imagine.  My plate is way too full to offer to take-over the list
and I'd think that others would be better equipped to do that task
anyway.  You may have noted my message on the topic posted to the
moderated list but that I've seen it never saw the light of day.  No
biggie.

Bottom-line is that I'm more interested in being enlightening that
getting ticked-off and believe that the list will continue to evolve as
time goes by.  I for one hope that it is a civilized sandbox to play in.

So is the honest and humble opinion of one who resides among the great
grey mass in the nose-bleed section of the ALE.
