  I'm keeping interesting (to me) posts in my "saved" folder, and the better
stuff gets converted to .txt files (and .gifs) on my home HD. I'm certain
others
are doing this as well, so worst case everything could be reconstructed. But a
handbook would be a great thing, even if it's a continuous work in progress. So
do we as a group go to a "vanity publishing house" and get a volume apiece
printed, or do we go on as we are? I'd love to have a hardbound copy of what's
been posted here as well, but at "vanity house" prices I don't think I could
afford it.

  If nothing else, people "lost" in their public libraries might find it and
increase our ranks...

  So "when pigs fly", we'll know who's fault it is, eh? ;>)
