I believe the best thing for everyone is to get busy contributing to the list as I intend to continue doing and to complain privately to anyone. My e-mail address is shown on all the postings I make to the list. All I ask is that if there is a question or a concern with any posting I make to the list, please e-mail me privately and DON'T blast me or suggest I have ulterior motives to everyone on the list. Anyone is welcome to go buy their own personal reader and purchase the microfilms themselves and post items to the list just as I do. I will continue to post as I have for the benefit of the entire list.
