Hi Don, White Hat reporting for duty! I promise I will NOT use the "P" word! It is true, that even the funniest material can get old, if it is beaten to death. I can remember the days when everyone was talking about constipation and diarrhea, death, misery, and some depressing things too! But no one had mentioned the "P" word yet, Parkinsaw was not yet incorporated, Ivan had not been on TV yet. EVEN THEN if someone tried to be humorous, there were some folks who did not want to laugh, or maybe wanted to, but were too busy with the depressing side of PD to take the time. Many times I was ready to sign off the list, and I would get piles of email, asking me to stay and not to listen to the "serious" folks. I want to be a contributer and I get so much pleasure from the list, I can't imagine signing off. Today I had 276 posts to read when I got home, I have 200 more to read. At least 100 are some kind of complaint! Let's have a fresh start, and try to control what we post, so no one feels overburdened trying to wade through? We can't make everyone happy, but there is no need to make anyone SAD! I welcome humor off list, if anyone is afraid to go public with it! I can take criticism too, but if it is just for me, don't send it to the whole list, unless someone else will learn from it........People even laugh at funerals, so let's lighten up while we are still above ground! :-) NOW I have some reading to do, if you'll excuse me! Ken "CAN be serious, but rather NOT!"
