This is not aimed at anyone in particular.
        It is for the entire list.
        I see this over and over.
        PLEASE change the "Subject" box when the subject changes.
Many of us cannot always read each and every post and the
"Subject" box is very important in choosing what to read (besides
The person who sent it).
        PLEASE use the subject box to identify what the REAL
Subject of your post is.
        Thanks ever so much, Michael
