One of the main exceptions to that rule of netiquette is precisely when the original poster *asks* to be CCed. There are exceptions to that exception, too, but this is certainly within its scope. > So if anyone has any suggestions, please - this once - CC my e-mail > address in your replies.

It's not real-time (it's missing the two most recent replies in this thread, both of which were posted within the past half-hour) but it seems to keep reasonably current (it has another reply from earlier today, about two-and-a-half hours ago). -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
