Re: Type 44 list

["Daniel Hussey" <dan_hussey@email.msn.com>]

Mike,

I can keep up with it now, but soon once I'm a workin' man again, it will be
too much.  My argument is ANY list is BETTER than NO list.

Yes, I am verbose, but I hope that some of what I say is helpful.  I like to
think it is.  I try not to be wastefull with bandwidth.

If you have plenty of time for the list, GREAT!  I won't!  So, I have a
right to go where I roam.  No ones forcing anyone to join this subgroup and
no one's forcing anyone who falls under that subgroup to unsub from the
list.  Just another option, and another list.

voicing my opinion LOUD N' CLEAR!  :^)

Later,
Dan
