Have you seen the ' Hersey Experiment ' on cnet?  Shafer and friends are/were
experimenting with operating in a Linux / no-MS-what-so-ever enviroment...

...that would serve a purpose, though for now, for me (and only me... <g>),
things are fine as is - I just ignore the subject lines/threads which don't
appeal to me;

In a year or so as the volume of posts increases, I'm sure things could be quite
different ;-)   I'm still quite green to the Linux world, so my needs aren't too
focused yet. I'm sure others here may be in different situations though...
