Potioncat enters, sets out a variety of cups, mugs and glasses. She 
takes out an ornately decorated tea pot--it's a magic tea pot. She 
looks around at the collected list members, "Cuppa tea?" (well, that's 
how they say it in books.) "Coffee? Hot chocolate? Iced tea? Apple 
cider? This pot will pour what ever comfort drink is wanted. (Bit early 
for alcohol, don't you think?)"

Yes, well, everything Katherine says is true. But, I'd bet if you did a 
really good search, you'd find many of us old-timers jumped in with a 
new idea that had already been discussed in our early days here. I know 
I did, and the one original idea I did have was met with thundering 
silence. Then I discoverd much later that my original idea had been 
presented a long time before, meeting the same silence.

Oh well.

But I might suggest...have a ginger snap....that instead of asking a 
question, each of us should offer up a good strong post around the 
question so that a lively discussion will be generated. There's bound 
to be someone else who hasn't considered that slant, or there's bound 
to be someone who has, but who enjoys discussing it.

Potioncat--more like Molly everyday.
