I can't trim bcuz i agree.
I have seen issues that I would LIKE to respond to but refrain bcuz of list
rules.I have issues that I would like to POST but do not bcuz of list
rules(of which I agree that NVC should not be posted under VC list..if you
have a concernthat is NVC, join another list...except on Frydays and
thenpost it and Pmail it.) I like the majority of list rules. I DID NOT
start this thread.
I look forward to m email from this list and want to keep it.
I have expertise...just not in web admin, list admin, or Vanagon admin(but
willing to learn)...Oh..if you are interested in enhancing that 'CERTAIN
PART OF THE MALE BODY', don't include me on the cable channel that I
subscibe to and have NO CONTROL over. How do I OPT-OUT of tha? There is no
DELETE key for that and I'm coool..or so they say.
--That last part was just venting-----
