Hi Jim
why not send every monday an automatic mail suggesting memebers
not to loose time in idle talk ar answering to banter/OT topics ..
after all most of people are "supposed to be adult* here and might
understand ..
In the french and some Italians site every monday the chart of the
NG is automatically published .
why not to do something here as well ?
my and only 2 cents to this topic
Theo
