Hmmmm... why doesn't everyone stop asking whether they should do stuff, *and just do it*? it doesn't matter whether anyone here is suffering subscriber-fatigue, or whether they think the title you have chosen is a bit 'meh ...', or whether a wiki should be open or not. all that matters is that people support these things. if you think something should be done different, do it yourself. if you think something should be done, then do it ... even if noone else comes to the party, you'll learn a whole lot :) shayne
