Maiden speech from an old man

Richmond.


The only thing that matters to me is that new users be able to find and participate in a "forum" of any kind at all. If two separate ones throws a wider net, I am for it. 


That said, I think two forums dilute the interchange of ideas. So I am with Hermann on that score, to create a single uber-forum. I like the RR one better than the use-list; I find the threading far easier to organize and follow.

interplay among us.

Some like coffee, some like tea; some with sugar, some with milk, some 
with neither.

Cross-reference is not a bad idea.
