LOL ... I'm seriously chuckling at that, Catherine. I can remember a time when so much was going here that the smoe server was churning out two or three digests a day. Some people un*s*ubbed due to the volume of posts then. If they're doing leaving now because of "too many posts" then they're just wimps. ;-) (KIDDING! Sort of.)

Though not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, it is hardly the clunker most call it. A bad Joni album is more interesting than most.
