Hi- I, being not too many years away from the "getting started" point, make an effort to answer the questions posted that I'm SURE I know the answer to. I usually do double-check my memory with some sort of reference to a book or article (to ensure that I don't mislead), and send what I know to the person, rather than the list. I know some things; I don't know alot of others and wouldn't presume to comment on those. If those at my level reply to simpler questions with accurate information, and you all who are above that level respond to our questions (still simple, but not as much so?) with accurate information, then we all get answers, and no one group is burdened. I suppose there are some questions that are never answered, but I bet that's a rarity. I've always gotten several replies to posts, more being sent directly to me than to the list. I don't think your comments are unfounded by any means; it's good to be reminded that input is necessary and useful. Sharon Sharon F.
