As a limited but interested student I completely agree with the message below - I felt, it should be repeated, and please, if you can afford, avoid included original messages in your replies to all ! Attachments whatsoever shouldn't be "absolutely necessary" - unless you found YOUR partner via the list, to do it ! Andrea Lini - is there a way to get a periodical (and maybe reviewed ?!) PRINT OUT of the list conversations ? It would save me a lot of work with my endavor to have it archived in a nice look-it-up-comfortably-at-home form lateron, because IT IS a good list !
