I'll chip in here and add that I also very rarely respond to TDMA Challenges either. I also handle a huge volume of mail, much of it in my spare time as a volunteer helper in newsgroups, websites and other places. If somebody wants to initiate a conversation with me, they are going to have to make it possible, not me. It is an annoyance, one I rank almost as high as those phone calls I get from Mr. PHB's secretary who promptly puts me on hold while she finds Mr PHB and connects us because he wants to talk to me! -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
