That would be me.

I don't mind doing this.  At least, we can try it this way for a
while.

I don't normally bother, because I anticipate being the 3rd or 4th
person to make such a response.

In the past, I've had a lot of trouble keeping up with the list.  But
since volume has come down somewhat, I think I can keep up with the
traffic.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
David
