As one who "falls asleep at the wheel" and I don't think I'm alone (I think Craig has nodded off a few times himself)..... what is being said is a fundamental rule on all lists. If everyone would read their welcome letters it is clearly set out in all of them. Each List Administrator posts the rules for the list in the welcome message that you receive when you join a list. These rules vary from list to list. Craig is the list administrator and therefore has the last word on the subject. As the old saying goes..... "ours is not to reason why, our is but to do or......." in this case get banned from the list. LOL I prefer to not argue with the captain of the ship!

There is need for more input, in my humble opionion. This particular list has very few postings and those that "do not" want to read a particular item can and do "hit" delete. Others, read each and every word and do not fall asleep at the wheel, so please do not become discouraged.
