One Down...
I have restored what I believe is most of the lost discussion traffic in the Hang Them discussion thread, where Dean Bartkiw, Dean Esmay, and Ara Rubyan dust it up a bit, with Michael Gersh throwing in some thoughts. The message dates are wrong, but if you pay no attention to that, the original flow is pretty much right.
That discussion was worth salvaging. I hope to post more on the subject discussed soon. Now I just have to resurrect the debate between Trinity, myself, and a few others. That'll be by this weekend, I hope.
So dedicated! Thanks for the efforts. I didn't quite know what to do when I checked your site (a daily thing) and it said Dean's World and the rest was a blank slate!
