Indeed. Some of us have so many projects cooking or so many duties in different areas (on and off the wikiworld), that things not "pushed" into our daily field of view tend to drop lower and lower on the list of priorities, despite our best intentions. I sign onto lists because then messages that I want to see get pushed my way. I don't have to keep remembering to go look in all my favorite or important places to keep on top of what I want to keep on top of. (You can probably surmise I'm a "piler" rather than a "filer" when it comes to organization of papers/information. When I put something in a file cabinet, it's often the last time I access it; on my desk and floor means I have to keep bumping into it until I'm done with it....) -RJS ====================================================================== Richard J.
