Anyway, I do appreciate the advice and I will keep reading your posts,
well most of them.... :-)

Jim -

Most of us here on the group have our resident idiot kill filed. The only
time we see any of his messages - or any part of them - is when someone
answers him.

If you are going to answer him, first you should make note that he will have
always added a bunch of other groups. You should make sure that you are not
continuing the crossposting - those groups really don't appreciate having
other discussions hauled over into their messages.

Another hint is that if when you respond to him, if you include Eggplant in
the subject line, it will either allow those of us who don't want to see his
rantings to block those messages or avoid them. We'd really appreciate it.

His advice - the parts that you find at all helpful and reasonable - is all
available from other sources without the high noise to help ratio that his
posts have. He has nothing new or unique to offer. Really.

Thanks.

And I will also add that I look forward to further updates on Bear. Good on
you for taking on the responsibility.

Judy
