I am aware of some of the work involved...which is why I declined to manage/own a list that I initiated among people who are named AVA. LOL. I let someone else do that. Being named Ava I rarely found any other people by that name growing up so when I found the internet I put out queries to all the people on AOL who had Ava in their names and we started a list and had a great time learning about each other and why we were named that etc. It was great fun but I let someone else do the managing as I barely get all my lists read let alone try to manage one. So thanks again Robert. :) I certainly appreciated it. Ava
