Clint:
I do not go to the archives so I do not know
too much about them, but I do not think I would
appreciate e-mail from unknown individuals as a
result of one of my replies. I believe that
a question generated by a message in the archives
should be directed back to the list and not to the
individual whose message in the archives it
references.
This serves three purposes.
It gives the whole list a chance to help out.
It shields the individual from unwanted e-mail.
Only members of the list will get their request for
additional information to the list. ( Unless Marlene
decides to pass it on).
Clint, I admire your generosity in replying to people
who do not sign their requests for help.
