Well, I knew I was going to open a can of worms here. I agree this is a great place to ask the question(s).
However, its my understanding that this list is for non commercial postings. In other words, no selling, no profit taking of our information. Our combined list knowledge is a valuable commodity, designed for each of us to give freely and take freely but make no commercial enterprise out of it. If I'm wrong I humbly apologize to all concerned, perhaps a clarification from our moderator would help correct my misunderstanding. Janet, there was no direct intent towards you and I wish you well in your article.
