greg - When I first came on line, I "fussed" about all the arguing going on instead of the "help" I hoped I would receive and of course, give. Woudt you believe I got a nasty note from a very prominet person on the listserve, and one from a man whose name I won't mention either, who told me arguing goes on in families, at work, at play, and if I didn't like it I could get off line. Well, I didn't and I'm glad. The reason I'm telling you all this, is to suggest you let it go and get on with your life, because there are people on the list who will complain, whether it is me, you, and someone else. My dear Mother used to say, "Consider the source". Best wishes for a great 2000.
