David, I wasn't trying flame the list. It seemed natural to me for
SYLVESTER messages to be bounced back thru the list and made private only at
the desire of the those making the reply. I would really want all my
messages to posted on the list, it is the only way to "catch" someone new to
the list without posting the same or similiar e-mail every couple of months.

You are doing a great job with this list. THANKS

Don
