Jay,

Don't let it get you down.  In any population, even a small one, there 
are going to be people in both tails of the normal distribution.  I get 
pretty quick on the delete key when one of those tails starts 
complaining about this list.  I greatly enjoy and thank you for the work 
you put into it.

Thank you!

Dave
