Brian,

I am happy to hear the PAW is a huge success, sorry about the problems. I am
a few weeks late this year starting my PAW so I am afraid that I will be
adding to the log jam in about a week.

I would hate to see this PAW success punished by being sent off to stand in
a corner (the sub-list). Personally I am not in favor of doing that.

For those complaining, I would like to ask why is it you do not mind dozens
of messages about hopeless drivel?

If this time last year is any indicator, in the next month or less you will
see the PAW start to fade as some people drop out. For those not interested
in the PAW (a shame) there is the delete key.
