A slightly off topic but appropriate comment:

Folks, please also try to trim some of the quoted material from your 
replies.  I see some messages with 100's of lines of quote and a couple 
of lines of reply.  As Rosalie said, there are people that have to pay 
for time and mail size.  Years ago list admins used to reject email that 
had a large ratio of quoted lines to replies.  It made for a better 
reading experience.

Thanks,
Jim.
