If I am not mistaken, it is not the new listowners who are asking for new buttons! We don't even know enough to ask for buttons! However, if asking whether a particular button exists can be construed as a demand that it exist, then doubtless new listowners are guilty of it. What I don't understand is, how do you find out what is there without asking a question? Peace, Anthea Tillyer ABTHC@CUNYVM City University of New York
