Hi Dawn, But wouldn't you have made the connection if instead of posting the names to the mailing list, they had been posted to the YKS surnames interest list? And what about those who come on line tomorrow with an interest in CARLILL? They won't see the posting to the mailing list will they? But they would see an entry on the surnames interest list.............
