Try and forgive those who want to keep their crappie in their poocan - it
gets tedious sometimes (especially recently) but once you've experienced a
serious, solemn list that frowns on OT fun, you'll appreciate this more.
Such lists are tedious, usually because there are only so many basic
questions that can be asked, the old hands get tired of answering them and
fade away - and so does the list. Either that or the threads get into
arcane and unintelligible discussions on the physics of optics - scarey.
