Let 'em bitch. :) Have they filed papers against you yet? <jk> I've been a list owner for some years. The term "owner" is useful when someone decides to suggest a lot more work for me than they're willing to do themselves, at which point I offer to donate the list to that creative individual. The suggestion disappears, promptly. At least owners can make such offers :) Dave Phillips
