This is part of my point. And, previously: > It has come to my attention that our leaf-user list volume is > discouraging some/many users from using it.

If somebody is going to install this stuff, then yank it because support involves a high volume list service, do we really care much about such people? How hard is it to subscribe to the list, ask questions, get the problem resolved and un-subscribe? Also, without a generic list, leaf-dachstein questions, for example, will lose out on bering, et al. subscribers' opinions. Frankly, I've saved all 24400+ posts from the last (3) years and do not consider this volume to be without value . . . -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
