Thanks for the advice. 1. I did post (twice) on LEM swap two days ago when Elliott suggested it. The first time it was rejected. I joined the list so I could post and apparently I did not include my address. I thought an email address so that I could be contacted would be enough. Like I said, I was new to LEM just in the past 2 days.
2. With regards to the plastic cover that I mentioned that I would like, I thought that I mentioned exactly one time. I went back and could only find where I mentioned it once. If I mentioned it more then one time, I'm sorry it annoyed you. I get so tired of this nit-picking nettiquete. Soliciting a part one time is okay but 3 times is rude. 3. Anxiety would be overstating my interest in finding this part. I reserve that emotion for things of a more serious nature. 4. What is considered "polite" is, more often then not, subjective. Personally, if you have a problem or suggestions with my post, I consider it to be more polite to criticize me personally, off-list. But, hey. . . thats just me! There are lots of different types of people on this planet and there's room for all of us.
