Hi Leigh, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation! Not sure what's worse,someone requesting you leave the list or posting something so boringthat it compels them to want to leave the list themselves :) I've had three unsubscribe requests so far (is this a record?). Ifsomeone is _deliberately_ asking me to unsubscribe, please send me anemail at [email protected] and we can discuss (in a nice way).
Apologies for prolonging this thread... Cheers,Donovan.
