I for one thought it was a good idea Jan, but as I am not one of those doing lookups, I understand that life does get in the way of our consuming hobby sometimes, and to be relegated a certain day would take away the spontaneity of doing a much appreciated lookup for another person. I, myself have been the recipient of many different lookups from many generous souls on the few lists I belong to, and I greatly appreciate the time and effort someone else spends on my behalf, and always say so. Occasionally I even reciprocate with an answer to someone's question, so I know what a buzz it can give the 'giver'. Just my thought on this subject. Cheers, Robyn of Geelong.
