Ohh, thanks Julia, I did not mean to imply that kind of black hole :) I happened to be changing IP addresses at the time, and had one that was on lots of spam lists. I understood about the limit, and it was only so big because I forgot to clean up the original messages on the bottom. I fixed that, and then tried to repost it, but it got blocked by the IP issue. That was the black hole. I gave up after that, cos it was not all that stunning a post and the moment had passed. So, no intended critism, I know you have a lot better things to do than read my drivel. >Throw in a death in the family and needing to get the house ready for >visitors, and I'm looking at 6 days.

Hope its all OK now. Hugs. >I can send you a copy and let you edit it into 2 smaller posts, if you'd >like. Thanks, but I still have a copy and its not worth reposting, that excerpt just seemed apt for the thread >(I posted something shortly after you submitted that post, reminding >folks of the 40K limit on message size.) Yes, I saw and understood, then etc... Thank you for taking the effort to explain, and all your other list efforts. I think we all appreciate yours and Nick et al's hard work. Andrew
