Lewis,
I didn't view them as being overly critical at all. I do like to
whine a little about the current state of communication between
members of the human race and wonder, with despair, what the future
holds for our children who won't be able to have a meaningful
conversation because they don't want to be labeled as mean spirited.

I appreciate that. I haven't taken part in a conversation on the list
in quite some time and have picked up the bad habits that I had to
participate in because most people in the workplace don't know how to
make the most of this form of communication and use Outlook which
makes it difficult to place your message in line so that it is in the
proper context of the previous message.

I'm sure your one of the last people that I, or anyone else, would
ever want to punch in the nose. Thank you very much for your list's.
The help and education I have received here, through the years, has
been very valuable to me and I hope it will continue for a very long
time.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and that you will have a very good New Year.
And that goes for the rest of the kind folks on this list as well.
Thank's to all of you for making this a productive list.
Take Care,
Sam
