Thanks kindly, j. :)

Raye did at one time ask Agents to put all caps in their Subject lines, and you'll see some of our more veteran Agents still doing that. I don't recall quite when that changed but both Raye and I began to see it differently, so that's not one of the things I might have given up on. :)

Both gigi and oliverhaddo do still post from time to time - in oliver's case, something happened to his 'Net connection. He expected to be posting again soon thereafter; I don't know why he didn't make it back online, yet.

A pet peeve in this era of short attention span: Folks sometimes e-mail me with nothing but a link to a video and maybe the words, "Watch this." :)

HIT THE BRAKES FOLKS.........

Hobie has been asking posters, and by extension readers, for many years (even way back when Gigi and Oliverhaddo use to post here) to not just post a web link to some article/video but to include a short narrative just to preclude this kind of complaint. He also use to ask that articles be posted in all caps. Over the years I think he just became fatigued trying to marshal the RMN site and took the path of least resistance. I concur with one of the posters here that I read the catch line and decide whether it is of interest to me or not and then proceed. We need to ease up on Hobie cause without him there would be no RMN. Remember he’s been doing this for almost 20 years and gets the “persistence award” for that alone. He isn’t responsible for ‘spoon feeding” folks who have the 21st century attention span of 3 minutes.
