As I've not joined any of the local echoes - Canuckistan being a loooooong way 
off for me. And since I use Doc's to check message propagation I have no real 
reason to keep Chowda in my directory after the game is run.

I wish Waldo's had the offline mail running again. Currently I am posting all 
but my bulk recipe posts only through Outpost. And I see that Sean is going to 
go back to the former (Maximus) sox. Hopefully I can get it sorted again 
easily.

I don't think so. I think they are designed to "spin" any comment. I have 
written to a number of venues and requested a straight no-spin answer ... and 
what do you imagine I got? When replying to the spin, without fail, I am 
answered by more spin.  Bv(=
