Hi Listserv,

No Bruce, you are not the only one.  We had a woman over last night who
is on the listserv and she said she hardly ever has time to wade through
all the posts.  It would be a great help if we could tell the by heading
if this is something we want to read.  If not, just push the delete
button.  I find myself having to read almost the whole post before I can
tell if this is a topic that I need to read.

Please, change the subject heading if you are changing the subject.  It
would be a GREAT help to the rest of us on the list.
