In general, it's pretty easy to just delete stuff you're not interested in I think.

Ray has done a fantastic job of editing the recall notices and forwarding only BHM related items. I while filling in for Ray followed his lead. Many of the items that we deleted are toys due to lead paint. When I was editing the last post it was mentioned to me that some members have small children or grandchildren and may be interested in receiving the information. I am willing to compile a list of what you all want and follow the majority. I will compile the replies until Friday, Nov 21. As not to fill everyone's in-box with the replies please send them directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I have included the most recent recall alert. This is an example of something that I would not normally forward to the list. If the majority of you only want BHM related posts the other individuals can subscribe to the recall email list. The subscribe information is at the bottom. Moderator Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 4:38 PM Subject: News from CPSC - Three Recalls This message consists of the following: 1.
