Dear DrdashbobI recommend 'throwing out the idea'-Do you really want more to do? (see above)
I think sometimes PB threads just get too serious and someone has to lighten up. and I must admit to 'sneaking' a non med post in here or there in PB and a med post in PBS there and here...mainly, because i am not sure which one is the most appropriate. I think having a third choice would make for more difficult decision making on my part.
I think you are doing a fine job of just enough traffic patrol.
