   I just wanted to let everyone to know that I'm still here, I've just been   
   really busy this month.   
      
   With such an intelligent, well-spoken, knowledgeable group here, I hesitate   
   to waste everyone's time with yackidy posts.   
   However, I did want to mention that I personally have no problem reading new   
   comments on subjects which have been discussed here before.   
      
   My suggestion for those who may be tired of certain threads is to ignore   
   them and humor the rest of us.   
      
   I enjoy reading fresh comments (as-well-as commenting) in a relaxed,   
   non-judgmental environment. Hell, if everyone wanted to look up the answers   
   to their questions, instead of asking a group of people in a newsgroup, then   
   we could all go hang out in a library instead of doing this. If we were all   
   restricted to reading archives when it came to 'previously discussed   
   subjects', things would be pretty dang quiet around here (even more than   
   lately).   
      
   In addition, a friendly, conversational newsgroup tends to last a bit longer   
   than one which is limited to never-before-discussed factual information,   
   especially when it concerns a historical topic, such as 'The Old West'.   
      
   I guess my outspoken western upbringing is showing, but I felt this needed   
   to be said.   
      
   Thanks to all who participate here...this is a really good group.   
      
   Blessings to all-   
   Terri
