Hi Cara, I am astonished at some people's rudeness! What you do, the service you provide is very much appreciated by me and hundreds like me, who don't often post to the list but look forward to you postings and the interesting discussions that sometimes follow. I hope that you won't let someone's rudeness upset you and I urge you to please keep up the good work you do, it is very much appreciated by me and others like me...
