Hello,
While I do read all messages which come through this list, I do sometimes get a
couple days behind, due to the number of direct support emails and phone calls
I receive.
I feel that this is a great forum for volunteers to communicate and work with
each other, and I'll try to participate as time permits, however, if anyone has
a specific question which needs a quick response, its best to email
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx directly.
I really appreciate all of the help the list monitors and users provide to each
other on both lists.

Do you read this list regularly. From the silence, some of us just do not
know.
