10 Mar 98  20:49:20: Darin McBride -> Richard Hirner, "Thank you"
 DM> @MSGID: 1:250/102.0 3505eda0
 RH> Hello!
 
 RH> Thank you for your help!
 DM> While we appreciate your appreciativeness, thank-you notes (without
 DM> any further meaningful conversatoin - i.e., questions or answers, or
 DM> sometimes even "gotchas" that you overcame in your understanding that
 DM> would help others who had a similar question) are expressly off-topic.
 DM> Part of the reason for this is merely that this is a very "helpful"
 DM> echo - we try to help everyone (sometimes even ourselves).  If
 DM> everyone who was helped posted a two-line "thank you" message, the
 DM> echo could be overcome in these messages. 
 DM> Thanks for your co-operation, and hope to see more of your questions
 DM> in here!
