Keith,

I, too, miss all the banter (and heated discussions)
that used to go on. It used to be great when a "List
Guide" (or whatever they are called) had to jump
in and tell people to take their arguments off the list!

You helped me out about a year ago, with justifying
text and centering a table that was not full width.

And your answers to other people's questions were
always clear and to-the-point. I really miss all that.

Glad to hear you're using PaintShop Pro... I've been
using it for years, and have always felt that other
programs were overpriced (Corel), or more than
a web page designer needed (PhotoShop).

But, back to Gio's point, let's get this list fired up
again... somebody ask "which HTML editor is best",
or "why bother to validate", and we'll see if we can
suck some newbie into getting kicked off the list!!

Just kidding... hope to hear more from all you guys.
