Mike,
You make a very valid point. Even I have begun thinking that my posts were
too much for this list. (I didn't think you were slamming me, I'm just a
good example) I'd stopped posting them here, but got a lot of encourgement
to do so, but....there is a limit. I suspect I'll do an occasional 'few
item' list here, but if I have a big list, I may just stick with the
om-trader list. It is a fine line to walk properly. John H and Clint do it
very well, as active participants that also have a business related to the
topic. I'm not sure I walked the right side of the line last week.
Of course, a lot of you wanted stuff <g>.....
