Y'all,

Some comments from the Flounder here...

The list of subscribers to the TT list is huge... surprisingly huge. I'd
say 10 to 15% of you have replied... most have replied privately. While
what we're seeing is a cross section of the list, it can't be viewed as
a cross section of the team. And if there's any question, if you
subscribe to the list, you are already considered a member of the team.

One can surmise that of you subscribe to the mailing list, chances are
you're more "technically able" than some who don't subscribe. Often we
mistakenly assume that all have jumped on the internet/WWW bandwagon.
This is not true. I subscribed to the predecessor of America Online,
called Quantum Link when it first became available... years ago.  The
computer of choice at the time was a Commodore 64. You could count on
less than 50 people across the country being online in their chat rooms.
Hah! How times have changed.

So, the rest of you lurkers out there... be silent no more. Don't be
intimidated by some of the Thickos that have been fortunate enough to
climb the food chain. I consider myself to be a bottom feeder in the
financial aspect of things... and my upcoming divorce will insure this
situation for a number of years to come.

So pipe up. Don't make us come out there and open up a "big ol'
can-o-whupass" on you. 

Reply privately if you'd like. When I assemble all this info and post it
to the list, it will be in an anonymous format.

Flounder
