[AT] Best of ATIS? -The D8 story, misc

[Al Jones]

When it comes to a list or website like this, keeping everything in its place, and so forth, there's a special balance, in my opinion.  I like to "visit" and just like setting around talking, sometimes one conversation leads to another. (case in point!) Sometimes one question provokes another question, sometimes related, sometimes not.  It's easy to "moderate it to death" to the point one might be afraid to post, for fear of having it nitpicked to death for grammar, being in the right place, etc.

In spite of all the other websites out there, I still enjoy seeing what pops up here....
