Hi Listserv, No Bruce, you are not the only one. We had a woman over last night who is on the listserv and she said she hardly ever has time to wade through all the posts. It would be a great help if we could tell the by heading if this is something we want to read. If not, just push the delete button. I find myself having to read almost the whole post before I can tell if this is a topic that I need to read. Please, change the subject heading if you are changing the subject. It would be a GREAT help to the rest of us on the list.
