because there's a common expression "get off your soapbox". there may be one describing how you get up onto that soapbox, but i've only heard the descending version. the expression implies that you have climbed up onto a box to make an informal speech, but now you're done so you're climbing off the box. why a "soap" box? i don't know, doesn't matter. -c
Cheap Oil. It's worth it!

the reason doesn't begin with 'mas', have a 'ter' somewhere in the middle, and have a 'b' in there next, and end in 'ation', does it?...;P

Being on a soapbox is an expression meaning you're telling everyone your opinion in great detail whether they wanted to hear it or not. It may also derive from the practice in London (I think?) parks where people will stand up on a box and just talk about stuff, and if anyone wants to listen they're welcome to do so. So basically, you can post about any ol' crap here and if anyone's interested, they'll reply. --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer Like the Google toolbar?

Preachers used to use a wooden crate (which among uses were employed in shipping soap) to orate in revival meetings and generally harrangue the masses in the 18th and 19th century in the US. Now they use radio and TV :) Let's Put The Fun Back In Dysfunctional! - My Darts Team T-shirt
