I agree with Marco and with Steve. If you wish to help someone by resending a message that they might not have seen by not being subscribed, then, by all means, send it to them directly. I don't need to see it again. If 5 people send it to them, they might get the idea that it's best to subscribe to the list so they don't receive 5 copies of the same help every time they ask a question. If 10 people send them the same message they will really understand. Most of these people are new to the net and lists. I remember a time when I was amazed that someone I didn't know had sent me the answer to a question I'd asked. Also remember the first time I signed up to a high volume list with no idea how to stop it or get off. (That was when I had to pay dearly for connection time.) regards, Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
