Another one bites the dust

I know I've contributed a significant portion of the noise recently, but

even I have to say this is getting ridiculous, when I have to delet almost
100 e-mails because only a handful are actually on Topic.  Admittedly
much of the OT stuff is quite fascinating, but as I log on at work and can
only
read and reply on breaks/downtime, it's just too much for me to wade
through for the time being. I'm afraid I'm going to haver to unsub.

To Kirk, Tom, and Jaime, your stuff is on it's way, and I definitely want to
keep in contact. To anyone with whom I've established social contact
off-list, feel free to keep in touch.  But I need a break.  I'm not
being driven off by any one person or their views, but by the need of everyone
on the list to comment on the comments of everyone else. It's almost become
exponentially OT. I'll take a peek back in a few days and see what's up.
