Hi, Anne:

These waves come and go, with almost predictable regularity, and many (if not most) subscribers do not participate in the free-for-alls and foo-farahs. Best to apply a filter, i.e. press "delete" and read the posts of interest to you.

Great to see you here in genbrit. Haven't seen you since Olinda ... let us know when you hope to make a trip to the Valley.

Best,
