Greetings. I have found the traffic on this list invaluable and someday when I have the drive space and a highspeed link I'll download the archives :-) In the meantime I'd like to suggest a splitting of the list into two streams to permit a useful lower bandwidth subscription and still allow for the chattier subscribers to freely communicate. The lower bandwidth list could be dedicated to buy/sell notices and alerts and moderated Q&A (perhaps the latter culled from the freeform list). When I first subscribed I tried to read every post and reply but soon fell behind (there's only so much time at the keyboard) so I decided to maintain and archive and do keyword searches on it. If this topic has been covered please accept my apology. Michael Grigoni Cybertheque Museum
