Dear Linda,
        Welcome to Conch-L.
        Probably you'll get lots of welcome notes as this is the greatest
bunch of people that you'll run into.  Her there are no dumb questions,
only those questions that are looking for the mates... good answers.  I
think that with your enthusiasm and interest, you'll find what you're
looking for... friends.
Once again, WELCOME.
Dan
