my suggestion to those people who have problems with off-topic posts don't
read them! To the rest of you who would rather the subject lines be changed or
made it more specific I'll do my best on my end but I'm not going to promise
anything. If for some reason any message it doesn't happen don't jump down my
throat. I have enough stress in my life without being forced to handle this on
my own. I like you guys and I appreciate the support but please do realize that
an off-topic thread is not going to kill the listserv. It's not like we spend
our lives discussing little else. In fact if anybody's interested I'm about
ready to start proofreading my first book. Expect more about that in the very
near future since this is my first one and I'm working with a rather ancient
computer that may or may know behave.
