I have no memory of subscribing to this forum, but I'm not surprised I did. I'll have some contributions to make myself, I'm sure. And /defenestrate/ is a wonderful word. Thanks.

I agree, Al and maybe someone could take over the page? I have wanted to join for ages but am still waiting to see who gets in next... It's been since 2004 or so since any new members were added, I think.
