You can if you'd like. But Sajjad was right in his previous post about some
people just not liking email, or not wanting to deal with the volume of being on
a list -- not that NANFA's volume is unmanageable.

Good suggestion, Chuck! Can anybody supply me with a catalog of subjects
discussed so far this year? I went to the email list archives and they were
unreadable to me -- a large mass of emails all strung together into long
paragraphs.
