You mean to tell me that we now need a tertiary alternative to the
alternative to the serious list?

Jumpin' Jehosophat!  Holy Stromboli!  Good grief!  I got a boatload of
serious here everyday, and even though I can't get a beer out of this
machine (well almost, see http://www.virtualbeer.com/home/vb.html ), I
gotta say that for the relief I get here, and the knowledge that when I
need some serious support to a technical question I can depend on it here,
'I love you, maa-aan' [this is a generic 'maa-aan' intended to apply to all
denizens, not specifically Ken, more a plaintive term of endearment for
y'all].

I'm gonna post the charter for those that didn't read it the first time.
