That's a hell of a job! I read the shortest ones first...367 messages left... I'm reading the three blocks e_mails now... assuming that everyone would mail only 1 letter a day and that downloading and reading takes 1 minute..... That means that we have 1 minute for breakfast, 1 minute for coffeebreak, 1 min for lunch, and so on till we spend all of our 15 minutes that are left after taking care of the list..... I embrace all of the 1425 lurkers..... stick my thump up... You are doing a great job, but please say something once... I will be quiet for several days. Kees Paap
