Hello All....

If a query was posted on a mailing list, it should be answered on the same
list....that is how we learn from others on the list. I can just see a list
full of queries - but no replies....does that make sense?

Hello Howard and all,
I'm afraid I disagree. Many times the answer to someone's question had
given me valuable information that I didn't even know I needed.

It has given me new ideas on where to look for information and provided
addresses and URLs for places and websites that I didn't know existed.

I often read someone's questions and wait to see the answer come along.
When it's replied to privately I am denied a new avenue of research.

Please everyone keep sending answers to the list unless it's absolutely of
no benefit to others.

It's sort of like tearing the pages out of a medical book that deal with
cancer because you don't have it - yet.

Read and delete if it doesn't help you.
Thanks for letting me get my two cents worth in.

Best wishes and good hunting
Madeline
