I agree Janice But please leave enough so that the gist can be followed. especially the original message as sometimes I find it hard to follow when it says "Tom and Lorrae said" and I do not know who "Tom and Lorrae" are. (example only - I know who we are <g> ). But please, could you delete the big long emails a bit, including when you respond off list. (remember - not too much but a bitttt, please) :-)) Hope to see your postings again Janice, when you have more time to spare.

Although simply hitting the reply button and typing in the text of your message is quicker, it reduces everyone's downloads if you take the time to delete the bulk of the previous message(s) and only leave that which is relevant to your reply. Best wishes to you all. Janice N' _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ______________________________
