Gotta admit that I'm agreeing with you on both counts. Re #1 - even though everybody is really good about marking in the header that their "soap posts" are off-topic as a way of signaling people who want to skip reading the foolishness, people who get the Digest form of the list are still stuck with it, and it does get tedious for others to have to keep punching the delete key. Re #2 - Anybody taking Preacher (or anybody else's posts on this or any other list) and posting on another list or otherwise will incur Miss MAnner's wrath, at the very least. It's traditionally bad netiqueete to forward other poeple's material without permisssion...if PReacher had a mind, he could call out the Sheriff if he ran across any of his own writing anywhere except where Preacher done put it hisself. I've gotten several notes off-list about possible ways to solve the dilema. I'm checking on 'em. More later. Catharine, wondering if the list is so quiet 'cause people are out gardening or if the heat (it was 108F heat index in Atlanta yesterday) has driven us all to hibernation!) F
