Mark....
Not one to sit idly by (well...not -usually- <grin>), a relevant thought
occurs to me. I took the list you assembled to be a matter of research
into -sources of inspiration- for those of us who are interested in this
theme, and not as simply {chatter|traffic} that most of the people who
whined ^H ^H complained about said list. It occurs to me that the
designeers of this theme must have watched at least the Indiana Jones
films, else I doubt that they would have selected to do the work involved
in producing the theme. This is not to say that the printed page may have
influenced them as well <grin>.
Second point: I trimmed this response to the this group specifically
because this is some validity in not permitting it to 'slop over' into
.general, IMO. That much I do agree with.
In any case...you did a good job of assembling the list (minus one
error <smile>), and I have a couple of week-ends of most enjoyable video
now programmed as a result. Thank you, sir.
Cheers,
Roger
