Please do not be mistaken, this is a friendly list, just once in a great while 
a button gets pushed and a few people get a bit bent out of shape for a short 
bit (on either side) over a mere helpful suggestion.

Do you see many posts being criticized? If you look at the list archives, you 
will have to spend some time looking for them......

Again, please do not let this very rare occurrence let you down or discourage 
your participation in this list.
