Subject:      Re: regarding dave's pet peeves

I agree.

I don't have a camper but who knows .... maybe someday (sigh).

Many times, when searching the archives, I find the right questions but no answers. I can only assume that those questions were answered directly via p-mail.

I have received, via p-mail, really great answers to questions that I've asked. Too bad that others, searching the archives, will be denied the benefit of that information.
