Hi list - there have been some good responses to this query but I wonder if the original poster will see them? It is my understanding that message board posts come to the list but the reverse does not apply. Perhaps the list admin could remind us of the way to answer message board posts? It is a shame to see good information possibly not reaching the person concerned. My apologies if I have this wrong.
