Nope, you are not too harsh. Murph and I agree. We don't have time to wade through the many long lists either. It would be wonderful if folks could just use the list server for valid and pertinent posts. Keep things simple and to the point. If someone wants to respond in a more personal manner, they can E-mail the person directly. We have done that from time to time and it works just fine. Bev and Murph Brown
