WN Hello Mary

Walt, I didn't check the To: field when I replied to your Post to me
on the List, and ended up accidentally sending the Reply to you
privately. I really did want to tell the List I am friends with
everyone on it, and thank them all for their welcome and support.
Didn't know how to manage the re-send, after I figured out what I'd
done, so I set it up again in Reply.

Below is the answer I sent you:

MB  Hi, Walt,

MB The moderator and I have made friends. No sense in throwing out the
MB baby with the bath water. (American idiom.) It was just a matter of
MB clashing communication styles, and I understand the moderators are in
MB the process of moderating the Macros (or to use an old newspaper
MB term, boilerplate) so they will have less chance of someone else
MB mis-perceiving the intent, as I did, when I arrived for the first time
MB on the List. Thanks for sending me so much support.

An excellent suggstion and one I'd welcome even as a not-quite-
so-newbie! :-)

Additionally, step-by-step instructions for setting up the basic parts
of the program would be good - e.g. we did one for setting up the mail
dispatcher which has been sent to various TB new users as a guide to
how to make it work. These sorts of things on a website would be
really useful resources.

Hi Mary,

Hang on in there with TB - you're doing just fine! :-)

MB I have spent the past 2 hours trying to make sense of both the Client and
MB the Posts regarding my problems. This may be my last
MB post to TBUDL.

Mary, when you ask for help here (as elsewhere) remind them you're new
to TB and need simple answers!  Loads of the techie stuff goes way
over my head as well so don't let it worry you!

MB (Like Elaine, I really have enjoyed Top Posting elsewhere all
MB these years.)

This can be done via the templates as others have said - try and see
how you get one - if you need more help with it just shout and someone
will assist :-)
