Here, here! :-)  I should point out that there are all kinds of opinions
out there.  While some might feel this list is unfriendly, others think
the reverse is the case.  I just had some email today from someone new
who posted to the list and wanted to send my response onto other lists
as an example of a "professional" response.  I'm sure the fact that this
person chose my response is completely coincidental.  There are certainly
lots of examples of great, friendly help from this list.  I see it
everyday.

I don't want to start a flame war on this subject but I just thought this
was an opportunity for me to pass on some positive feedback to all those
who take some of their own time to provide support to this community.
