In a message dated 97-12-12 12:03:23 EST, you write: << Anyway, this computer stuff is my escape from the pressures of life!! So, please, everyone say a HUGH thank you to Julia for stepping in to help me by getting this list started!! >> Leslie, Thanks are not necessary. I only began the list to get it going, since you couldn't at the time. All of you feel free to do whatever you like in requard to getting postings started on this list. It is a slow time of year, and we will be more active after the holidays. Remember, every message will be archived. This is great for me, as it means that I don't have to save each and every message that I might want to refer to later. It, also, means that we must be more responsible for our posts. In this requard, please be sure that the subject line reflects the subject of your post. If you are replying to a message, it is perfectly OK to leave the subject as is, and just hit reply. This creates a thread to follow. However, if the subject changes, please change the subject line on your reply. If you have a personal message for the previous poster, copy and paste their address in the "To" line before sending, and erase the BRIDGES-L address. Personal messages about ourselves and our families are welcome on the list. After all, we are family, and it is good to get to know one another. For instance, when my new grandchild arrives later this month, you can be sure that you will hear about it. Happy Hunting, and have a wonderful Holiday. Julia
