One and all! Mike has run HIS list since the 90's and barring a few
little problems along the way, has run it well and efficiently and I for
one would like to see it stay that way. And I do not think that is a
Luddite mentality either, just in the event that some think, because of
my advanced age, that I was around when the Luddites were! So waht that
globalgarden.com are sometimes a bit of a problem, that server has
worked well over all the years that Mike has been using it, with some
little blips, as I said. So, bear with it. Just because a few are having
a small problem, due to their inability to remember where they are
supposed to be if they un sub, or how to get back if they do, is no
reason to start a cry a furor to get a new list. Be content with what
you have. It works! Cheers, then OLD Luddite like Brent:-))! Cheers,
Doug in BC
