Incidentally if you try to make a practice of typing surnames only in all caps could be less chance of a typo and no need to send back someone full reply to the list with your bit tacked on A little judicious editing of the text make for cleaner looking ., easier to read messages Bye MargM Beautiful Wyong Shire NSW
