We all have plenty of useful and/or important other things to do. It's all too easy for any of us to think that our own problems are more important than those of others, but that's really only because none of us has the full picture. For example, from my own life: I've already outlined that there's a lot more to my life than computers. I could've added even more stuff like the fact that one of our children has cerebral palsy and that my wife has a very serious form of cancer so I've been sitting with her for many hours in hospitals while they've been torturing her with treatments which have, as their only saving grace, the fact that they're less severe than the cancer itself. I'm sure that most, if not all, of the other members of this list, perhaps including you yourself, have many such issues in their lives which are way more important than someone's mailing list subscription. The point I'm trying to make is that it's not actually your right to have this problem fixed. When any of us receives help from anyone else, may we all look upon it as a privilege rather than as a right, because that's exactly what it is. We should even have this attitude when we're receiving help from someone whom we're paying for that help. >I had sended an off-list mail with that address and explanations to you, at >18:38:14 2010 (local time), >sended from that new address. Probably, but I'm too lazy to go looking for it. Why not just retype it here so that it's right in front of me. That'd be less typing than the instructions of where I need to go to find it. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
