Hopefully ALL those guys who complained about the LACK of posts so
many times when things did get quiet will now come forward and fill
the list with on-tpoic stuff ???  Similarly those now complaining that
there are too many OT posts will do the same ???

I think not, history will repeat itself. There are lurkers and there
are posters. It's no good sitting back and expecting everyone else to
do the work, if there are no posts there is no List.
