Sorry folks... I posted that "I cut out the boring stuff..." message earlier. Lemme extract my foot from my computer's mouth :*)... That message was intended for a friend of mine who has local email only. He's a big hockey fan, but he gets *really* pissed when I send him the whole hockey-d list -- he doesn't even read it. I think the digest is great, so I've taken to extracting the stuff of interest to him ("non-boring stuff") & forwarding it. No offense intended to anyone whose postings got cut -- that was a subjective "boring"!! I apologize profusely. Dave
