re: cloth diapers vs disposables...

...AND they don't make a lot of wasteful trash to throw away,
...AND they are the best rags around when they finally wear out.

As a father of three, two of whom were in diapers at the same time,
I must say that I much prefer the extra work of maintaining the
diaper pail and washing the diapers (even when I do it!) over the 
horrendous EXPENSE and MESS (not to mention WASTE) of disposables.  With 
newborns we did use disposables for a while, but we preferred the diaper 
service.  It's frequently cheaper, although it has its own hassles.
