I assure you that you are in the minority. If you only give an e-mail "one second" to decide if you want to read it then you should unsubscribe from these lists and hire a personal assistant. I am at LEAST as busy as you. I receive several hundred e-mails a day, and I am able to allot at least 5 seconds per e-mail. ;-) -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
