Dave's post is a good segue to something relatively unimportant I was about to post here someplace. Yesterday I received an email from someone who had just started a Put and Take collectors group on Yahoo. I'm not that interested in putting [no pun intended] in any time there, but I joined for the heck of it, and now I am one of three members of the group! Looks like anyone can instantly form a group. (I wonder how Kelly Crawford is doing with her Yahoo group!?) Using the internet, anyone can instantly and at no or little cost form a group and declare himself king of the world, the font of all knowledge, or whatever.

Here is the URL for the Put and Take group:
"This group is for collectors and enthusiasts of Put n Take,Hi/Lo, Teetotum and other game and gambling tops and unusual spinning and rolling dice."
