Chris said; Snippo< I've let my duties slip and haven't been by the
Porch for several weeks...>

I would opine that it's the commendable and gregarious behaviour of
the Porch denizens that allows Chris (and I know Esther is out there
too) to take a bit of a sabbatical without worrying that the List will
self-destruct.
