Oh yes, one more caveat, use text format emailing to this list, as
opposed to html. We're not being totalitarian, some person running a
dialup and very old hardware will have problems with it. Text format is
faster and more efficient in regards to file size. Since many of us
archive this list on our computers, html use would swell the mailbox
size by as much as 2/3rds. :) Ric
