Allan, I suggest you respond to anyone you want at any time.  You needn't
wait to be directly addressed. . .butting into the middle of conversations
is part of life and just plain great fun.  Some conversations need busting
into. . ..

I would like to ask two things - not only of you, but of others:  Would
posters please address other posters separately (unless, of course, there's
a specific reason not to) because, as a reader of the digest, sometimes it
looks as if the poster is finished, but way down the list there is yet
another person/subject he/she is commenting on - it is easy to miss and very
difficult to keep straight.

Also, is it important that people re-post the ENTIRE post they are
addressing?  Maybe to some people this is important, but again, for me as a
digest reader, I spend a great deal of time simply scrolling down the screen
- getting finger cramp. . .and thinking bad words.
