Please help those who would like to help you! Please include dates so that the budding helper will know what period you are looking for John DOE or Sally BLOGGS. Capitalise SURNAMES only. Use a meaningful heading. Have a look at other e-mails to see what catches you eye and is meaningful! Make your e-mail easy to read - short paragraphs are easier to read than big blocks of rambling text: especially for those of us who belong to several lists or whose eyesight ain't what it was! I invariably delete and move on! With so many list members using AOL and Hotmail and yahoo etc tell us where you live - not home town if you don't wish to - but at least put USA or Oz or NZ or UK etc - so many answers depend on knowing where the writer lives ie what sources might be available to you! To be continued later - lest I bore you ie don't allow your e-mails to get too long - attention spans ain't what they used to be :-) Regards Paul Portland
