Linda, you do realize that you not only spammed the mailbox of the newsgroup, but every one who subscribes to it. There are now two dozen copies of your request in my mail folders.
I am just another subscriber to this group and I am almost ready to unsubscribe myself just to keep your e-mails from clogging my mailbox. As someone else said earlier, once is enough. Send a request to <[email protected]> give them a chance to remove you from the list. Thank you.
