Jeez, it must be something in the water or the phase of the moon. I'm
relatively new to the list, have found it helpful and interesting, but
also recognized early that some are at a different level technically
than I, or that they have different uses for the contact that the list
makes available. I'm grateful to Mark for the effort he puts out that I
benefit from. Why get so bent out of shape? Let it go. Its over.
