Hi,
I've not been on the list too long, so only saw your most recent
request for info re reactors. I did see at least one or two responses to
your question. One of them had a web site with his recommendation's
description/price/etc. I know it was a good link because I remember
checking it out myself (they were soooo expensive, I bailed on the idea).
Unfortunately, I deleted the response, so I can't forward it to you. Don't
think you are being shunned. I haven't seen that happen even once on this
list. Seems like SOMEONE has an opinion on almost every topic (g). Hang in,
it's a great list. Just repost your question with an explanation that you
might have missed the response. Someone will help you out.
HTH,
Larry

LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a command to remove you from the list. The list
manager controls who belongs to the list.
For example:
--------------------------------------------------------------
From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: <not needed>
UNSUBSCRIBE
--------------------------------------------------------------
