Dear Group-

    The baby got me up at 4:30am this morning and I decided
to come into work and catch up, so I'm grumpy.  My beef this
morning is that about half of the posters ask a question and
then ask for a reply *directly* to themselves, with no indication
that replies will be summarized and posted back to the list

       This is a Discussion Group, ya'll.

   Let the traffic roll to the list and become dynamic.  This
makes more work for Lynn and myself, but that's why we
do this:  To promote dissemination of CD ideas.  Most CDO's
toil too much in solitude.  It is not worth doing this if we
are just John Alden promoting whispers between a Miles Standish and a
hoped for Priscilla out there in the internet ether.

Grrrrrr.  On with the day... ;-).

John, co-moderator
