Hello Mary Bull, On or about Monday, January 20, 2003 at 14:12:32GMT -0600 (which was 3:12 PM in the tropics where I live) Mary Bull opined:
8< Snipped a bunch.... MB> Peter, this is a very nice list. Some of the people on it know even MB> less than I, and I'm sometimes able to help fellow Senior-Newbies. On MB> the other hand, there are some who have excellent over-all knowledge MB> who are giving their time, and also others whose knowledge, while MB> spotty, like mine, happens to include answers to questions I ask. MB> Hardly any of them have heard of The Bat! however. :) One or two, MB> including the List Moderator, have. Senior-Newbies-L's list protocols MB> are far less stringent than those of TBUDL. :) <g> You must take this opportunity to edu-ma-cate them Mary! Just think, you can be the 'ambassador of proper netiquette' on that list and make a new crop of better informed users! ;-) Work with the moderator by stating the reasons why it is important (from an organizational standpoint) to conform to established protocols. You had to know there was a (hidden) reason why you joined that list! -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike I liked things better when I didn't understand them. - Calvin -------------------------------------------------- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail \ / If it aint a webpage it shouldn't be HTML.
