Janet, I appreciate Joseph's reasoning, but I don't agree with it. I get the same number of emails as the rest of the list (and maybe more as this is just one of the lists I subscribe to), but this list is also one of the two support groups I have - the other being the chat rooms. I don't read all the articles posted, heck, I don't even read all yours, (ducking) but I do like the format, and the few non-pd mail I get doesn't take much longer to delete than the rest. Just my opinion, but I like to read about Ivan's singing, Don's happenings, and of course, the great pig debate. bob
