I love it!! You left out a few though:

1 to point out that you can shorten that link by using TinyURL.

1 to say that if you put around the link it won't break on word wrap.
BTW, this does NOT work, at least not with Outlook Express. I've tried it
several times.

And 1 to point out that it's Gunner's fault that anyone ever posts off topic
messages! :-D

Best Regards,
Keith Marshall

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is
"lamp"

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all
headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again.
