Darwin,

Don't jump to any conclusions.  I love the new way, except,
I use my own filter not Janet's.  So, some of us complainers
are using the new method, just in a different way.  The numbers
don't tell the whole story.  All I wanted several months ago was
to have PIG added to subject.  We've gone beyond that, but that's
fine.
