Hi Ted, Gary, and all list members.   I agree with Ted 500%, this list is
a magnificent source of knowledge.  Now, we may not all be attuned to the
same frequency at all times and we do have our differences, but those
differences of opinion are what makes the list strong.  I post a lot of
strange stuff myself and am not always enthralled by the replies I get,
but that is what makes it interesting.  We need the diversity of attitude
and opinion that we have on this list now.  Our strength is in our
ability to sometimes 'pick apart' a post, just to get to the
nitty-gritty, and correct what we may be doing or thinking wrongly.  And
gosh knows, I get picked apart at times but I also become more
knowledgeable at the same time. All the list members try to help you out
in their own way, even if they are not in total agreement with you.   Is
this a great list or what!!!!    Al.
