With all due respect, I have to disagree with Carol.  I like all of the
"really technical stuff" and the more I read, the more I understand.  I
feel that I would miss a lot of information if postings and replies to
the list were done privately!  There have been questions that requested
a private answer that I would have liked to have read.  As for so many
postings, after reading a couple of lines I can tell if it is of
interest to me and if not I stop reading and press delete.
 
For those that previously complained about the cost per minute, are you
able to log on, download and read while off line?
 
I have been wanting to thank all of the experts for sharing all of their
hard learned knowledge with me.  Please don't stop--your answers are
better and more detailed than any of my many books.  As for the
"silliness" that sometimes sneaks in--that puts a human touch to the
List, it feels more like a family.
