Guys...
I have no connection to the blackdown people but, as a volunteer in some
social activities, I believe we should be a bit more tolerant...
Regarding the issue of "read-only" lists presented in this thread, I can't
understand why there are still out there at the first place! For the
exchange of this type of information (i.e., of specific interest and never
too confidential), a newsgroup is immensely better. Just think of the
browsing facilities services like deja.com offer!
Regards,
Dimitris
