Ja, that was why I didn't say anything until now: it stayed on topic.  But I
will be out for a few days and I could see how this one could easily turn
into something even a wrongdoer shouldn't have his name to-attached.

Granted, and I consider it fair game so far.  I will leave it to your
collective judgment: if you really think a name should be in the subject
line, I won't call a foul on it or toss anyone in the bit bucket.  I don't
like it, but there is plenty of stuff written in this forum that I don't
like, and it is within the agreed-upon guidelines.  I like having an open
list, with suggestions rather than rules.  I recognize that philosophy has
its costs, but also its benefits.

Carry on, lads!
