Where?" >--------------------------------------------------------------- This is a good idea. May I suggest someone who is interested in seeing this mail list in a newsgroup pick up on this idea? I, for one, have no problem with the concept of this "group" as a mail list but I think it would be beneficial to those who like the newsgroup forum better to be able to access it in this form too. This idea seems to provide that nicely without forcing a complete change of forum for those that are happy with the mail list. Larry Hall lhall AT rfk DOT com RFK Partners, Inc.
