That's how I view things. The broken threads are annoying, but Mark adds so much value to this lists, that it's not an issue. And yes, some of his posts are verbose, but if I'm not interested in them, I skip over them. Simples! My only gripe with the posts on here is not related to Mark - there's so much top posting and lack of reply-editing. It's like eternal September here these days. But ultimately, these lists are a resource that I don't feel are abused.
