Dave,
Just a P.S. to all of the above...I sent my original note before I received
Jim's posting requesting that no one send joke lists. If you received his
note before mine, it may have looked like I said, "Keep 'em coming" after and
in spite of what Jim said, but that's not the case. I don't know how it
happens, but I get things all the time out of order of how it was sent,
sometimes receiving a reply quoting a note and then not getting the original
note on the list for a couple of days.
Yes, I know I'm "just a guest," and Jim is in charge, and, as I said earlier,
I agree that this is not the place for joke lists .. or stock reports, or
whatever. I'm sorry for unintentionally offending you.
Barbara
