I agree with Steve A....it is nice to know what people are responding 
to. Way too many times I get e-mails from (especially AOLer??) people 
and I have no idea what they are referring to...or, talking about. I 
also have a rule...I won't read an e-mail if I can't tell who is saying 
what. If I'm confused about who the writer is after two lines, I delete. 
My arm is too tired to itch.
