[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I know how you feel - the content can definitely be on the
less-sophisticated side in many respects (which is why you may have seen it
referred to as the "Kotex" before...  :D ). But they've expanded their scope
relatively recently - so it makes a good backup plan if you can't find the
answer on the list...Also, some old-school listers hang out there too...

Now, back on topic. Check this out - very informative:
