I thought I had missed a post and everyone on the list was just posting
their family names, sort of like a general roll call as on other list
sometimes. Since I thought I missed the original post requesting all to
just post names thought that was the reason for the generic subject of
surnames so everyone would recognize that post as part of the roll call.
Sounds like the original post that I thought I missed didn't really exist.

Slan go foill,
