Iain, unfortunately - or should I say fortunately - this is not a
moderated group, so there is no way to keep anybody out. And even more
unfortunately some of the most prolific posters are either peddlers of
myths or downright pig-rude (both in some cases). But hey - that makes
the group fun; I wouldn't want it to be some stuffy repose of academe.

My point is Don, that *we* the members of this group are keeping people
out by our churlish behaviour, and the influx of new blood (or old blood
for that matter:-) would add a new dimension.

Ah - sorry, I misread what you wrote. But I think that anybody who has
the stomach to read what goes on here - and it isn't that bad by
Usenet standards - should have the courage to dive in. Sure some of us
get annoyed and may have a bit of a shout. But there aren't too many
who would be deliberately rude to somebody new showing up.
