I'd have to agree with this. This is the only group I subscribe to where I have no fear of posting (and I'm ALL OVER the net - hi Drewcifer!). In most groups there is a definite newbie/oldbie prejudice, but I've felt very welcome here. I've even made three good friends here - and two of them were a couple who moved to my town and mailed me just because I was on Gaffa! Of course, I get flamed by Drukman - but hey, who doesn't? Happy holidays (whatever they may be) to all! b r e t t -- Laws are good because they force us to get numbers with lots of sixes tattooed on our heads and tattooing does NOT hurt. Woof! -- K.
