Yes, I was a little annoyed at what was, to me at least, a rather extreme reaction to something that didn't seem like all that big of a deal. An old aphorism regarding flies, honey, and vinegar comes to mind. However, I'll have forgotten about it entirely soon enough. I'm no grudge holder. Either that, or I have a bad case of adult ADD, I'm not sure which. :) >Very simply put: >You have a right to be here. You have a right to contribute.

I trust that a small amount of slack can be extended should I forget every now and again. But despite this minor inconvenience of an extra click, as I said before, I'm a creature of habit, and I'm not changing addresses on a couple of folks' say-so. >And, by all means, don't be offended by the list's reaction.

I'll try to be mindful of that, and make sure it comes through in text as often as possible. And thanks for this message, BTW. I appreciated it. Jim <hr>
