I really object to tons of jokes bouncing back and forth. I don't have time to filter through this b.s. I have three weeks of digests stacked up in my inbox that I haven't gotten to yet. I filled up my hard disk with digests... I got another email account just to hold digests. They only let me leave 2 meg of messages there, so old digests get deleted automatically before I can get to them. before you post, ask yourself this question: If the 2000 list members were in an auditorium with you, would you stand up and make the same comments? You may think it's rude to tell someone to shut up, but I think it's pretty rude to yammer on, day after day, when people are trying to exchange usefull information. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, have a heart. Learn some self control, send stuff to your list friends directly, stick to the subject at hand... _______________________________________________________ Get Private Web-Based Email Free http://www.hotmail.com
