Well, my apologies to the group, but I must say that if my you found my grand total of *two* test posts to be "pretty damn annoying" you might want to chill OUT -- RELAX -- get a LIFE. The reason for the tests was simply that for the last week I have only been receiving about 1/3 of the messages posted to the list. I deduced this by the large number of "Re:" posts I received where I did NOT receive the original post. Also, the messages were not in date/time sequential order, and three posts I made during the last week were not received by me. I then posted the original "test" message, and when I didn't receive it, I subscribed using another (this) e-mail account and posted "another test" (which I DID receive). Perhaps everyone's on edge due to the high number of off-topic and inflammatory messages which have been posted lately, but, hey, can't you cut me a little slack while I resolve this problem? After all, it's not as if I called you an ASS or something ;>) Glen 0/0
