My quick comment: having been chastised by this group in the past for
discussing the price of 1200 cartridges, a subject I think is much more
on-topic than alcoholic vending machines, I have to vote for focusing the
group simply to IDM issues.
The Net has an immense number of resources that would be more appropriate
for topics of that sort, and if I'm curious about such things I can look
for them there. Having just pared down the number of lists that I
subscribe to because I can't keep up with the topics that interest me
makes me feel this way more strongly.
No offense intended, Mary: I'm glad that you feel connected to this group,
and IDM is an excellent mailing list overall.
