Good points you've raised, Neil. I fall into the first
category. I tend to be a few hundred posts behind
everyone at times and by the time I get caught up on
reading everything, my points have generally been made
by someone else. I make a point of reading everything
first, rather than just jumping in with a response,
which tends to be a *good* thing, as someone else has
usually made the same point as I would have, just a
couple of posts further on.

Okay, back to catching up with what you all said over
the weekend!
