Now Ginger:
AMEN SISTER!  WHACK!  WHACK!  WHACK!
Sorry, I've been in the General section of Shipping too long. 
I have whacked ruthlessly any posts that say "Harry and Herm would be 
so cute." regardless if they were coded to Harry and Herm as well.  I 
don't wish to put those coders through the saccharine jolt I'm 
becoming accustomed to.

On the other hand, if they say something else that may well be worth 
saving, then I just uncode ships and add a 5.1.6.  Handy little 
device.

On a related topic, I thought I had sent in a message earlier, but it 
hasn't come through, so I'll repeat myself.  Sorry if the original 
shows up.  

In the new lineup, the category "General" replaces the 
old "RelationSHIPPING".  It is a little odd to see a category just 
called "General".  My first response was "General what?" and I was 
the one coding it.  Could we change that to "General Ship" or 
something like that, so that it reflects the idea of Shipping?

It's good to be back.  I just about went nuts this weekend without 
the coding.  I found I had forgotten what it was I used to do for 
fun.  I read a book instead.  The plot went over my head as usual, 
but the humour was good.

Toodles, Ginger
