Lawrie,
I sometimes wonder the same thing. I'm sure there are some out there that
never say "Thanks". Periodically, I will respond to each person directly
rather than the list with a "Thank you". It's habit to hit "Reply" rather
than "Reply All" I guess. I think it's important that we don't take this
list for granted. People are taking the time to answer a question when they
could be woking on or driving their MG.
To all of you on the list...If there has ever been I time I hadn't said
"Thank you", I will say it now: THANK YOU :o))
