RE: ADMIN: List Issues



Gary,

I'm not sure how it works, but I do know that our emails are on the internet.  I've done internet searches on a topic in the past and have had our emails pop up.  Maybe that's the archive thing you were talking about.  When I've done this, an email that went out to the list that day popped up, so they weren't old ones, either. Anyway, just an FYI for anyone who didn't know that and thought these messages were just between us. 

Thanks for all you do for us in keeping this going!

Dave
