Hi wondeful listers, I just want to say that I really agree with Mike, I am so impressed and glad for the existence of both sides -- the techies and those of you who are supportive and make things simple for the newbies. Both roles seem vitally important to me. And I think that the more the techies come up with -- which can then be distilled into language that those of us technically handicapped can understand -- the better off we will all be. And I don't see apathy on this list -- I see lively debate, lots of caring, tremendous intellects at work, and all different levels of technical comprehension and skill. Seems like a very healthy community to me and one I'm very proud to be a member of. Katarina
