Nathan, you know the the community of patients that I serve. As list-owner, I go out of my way to bring along the network neophytes on my lists so that they'll get and use the important, and sometimes vital, services that are available to them. I will guess that perhaps 95% (a random figure) of Listserv users should be presumed to have a certain level of net sophistication, but I hope that there will be some place for the perhaps ~5% of net users who are still truly neophyte, and that Listserv utilities will continue to be available (and developed) for those list-owners who want, or feel, that they need to serve those who are new to the nets. -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
