I'll get in here too and defend Eric. Speaking as a poster who's had his
posting privileges yanked a couple of times because of stupid posts, I'm
glad Eric keeps all the unrelated posts out. There's about 50 posts a day
only a tiny part of them are for unrelated topics. Out in the Internet
wasteland, that number could multiply by two, three, or even 10 times thanks
to SPAM, XXX ads, and useless flames.
So thanks Eric... I don't know why you put up with this crap, but we
appreciate you.
