My closing comments 8)

Yes , I am aware of what you are saying and I stand guilty on all counts.
What I was referring to on my last message is that sometimes we get
bogged down on posting to the point that the poster gets so annoyed that
he quits.

As for reading the mailing lists we need a better interface to access
previously posted information. I can't keep up reading all the stuff
that gets posted on this list -- it is almost a full time job if one
wanted to do that 8)


	Cheers,
