True, it is a pain to sift through a pile of insipid lists. But what's the big deal? Most of the non-list articles are equally uninteresting. Just read those articles that interest you, skip the rest. When an interesting list does come along, rare as that might be, I want to read it right here on net.books. As long as lists are properly labeled, you'll know whether to skip them or not. _______ Al Tino ..!hou2f!tino
