Agree -- even though your subject header of "Woes and Miseries" wasn't very descriptive of your post's content. Sometimes we don't really know what the message will contain until after we're finished writing it. That just seems to be the way the brain works -- in forming words and sentences we often discover exactly what it is we're trying to say. Anyway, my main question is why this group is a mailing list rather than a newsgroup. My mailbox does get awfully full and I like the option in my newsgroups of pulling in an entire thread that's of interest, as opposed to getting tons of posts in my mailbox every day, not all of which are applicable to my situation. Just a thought.
