Not to mention that it seems like in the last year or so, the traffic on this list has *exploded*. I used to be able to go through the entire day's subject lines, delete the ones I *knew* I wouldn't be interested in or able to help with, and then actually scan all the rest. Not anymore. The leftovers go into an ever-increasing "still unread" pile until I finally give up and purge everything. Nobody here can assume that others are seeing or have seen their posts, even if the list is working OK. There's just too much traffic to simply assume that anyone sees everything. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
