Hi Cy, It dosn't bother me--but maybe I don't live a well-ordered life. Some people whose opinion I respect may be on one list and not the other. If I feel it's an appropriate subject for both lists, I'll post to both groups in an effort to get the information I want. Just seeking the truth here...
