This is a great list, but - as I wrote Eric before - its silver lining
has the greatest value. This silver lining = those discussions on topics
at the rim of Erics Posting Rules subjects: these bring you to new views,
broaden your horizon and improve your daily tech-writing job.
E.g. take the scuba discussion a couple of weeks ago: rim-topic,
off-topic? However, understanding the scene will improve your instruction
(or translation in this case). And a better story will serve the reader.
But moreover, these subjects are also very entertaining.
Alors Eric: keep moderating this list, with a smile...
