[Electronics-talk] UBER

[cheez]

Christopher, I'd be remiss if I didn't question your judgment as to the
subjects relevance based on the purpose of this list.
As far as the number of messages I submit, Did it ever occur to you, sir, 
perhaps Mr. Andrews isn't monitoring the list at certain times?  So I think 
it's up to us to keep things in check.
Vince
