Have to throw in my two cents [and find out of this is working with my AOL].  
Despite Paul's note 
that he's sending a rejection message on test message, the one I sent didn't 
appear and I didn't get
a rejection message so.... this is kind an around about way to test again!

Have to agree with liking the 'wild wild west' version myself.  Besides, who 
want's to wait for a post to
appear [or not], what if it's a crucial rule question during a intense FTF 
game?

Somehow I believe the list will lose it's flavor with the current format - 
some of us [or at least I ], enjoy some
of the flame wars - besides what will happen to the spuddies, a lot of the 
material came out of or from the
fringes of the flame wars.

Of course then if we want to start a flame war - what of the thought of MMP 
forcing Paul to screen all the
EM's to insure that nothing negative about MMP is posted to the 
ASML?...........  now will Paul screen
this to ensure that this thought does not become a rallying point for those 
oppossed to censorship.......
and if he does how will other's even know this was sent, as they will never 
see it.........   so in effect do we
even know that the reason Tate hasn't posted anything yet is due Paul cutting 
him off at the pass, of course
that's a wise thing to do with anyone from that part of the old south, but 
that's another story.......    :-)

Note the smily for those with no humor.....
