  Oh, very exciting, indeed.  No doubt a flea finds the sight of a dog passing
by similarly exciting.  The dog's perspective, however, is a little different.
 
   Naively, I was almost persuaded by the InfoMagnet message to set my
notebooks to "public" to make it easier for interested persons to find my
lists.  If ever there was a good reason for listowners to keep our notebooks
set to PRIVATE, this kind of predatory eagerness is it.
