I wish to thank you all for your responses to my suggestion. As a result of your postings, both public and private, I will not have my students subscribe to your list. I will let them see what happened when I asked, as in what sort of response\ I got from the list subscribers. I think they will begin to see the seriousness of mailing lists as they read your comments. I appreciate your candor and helpfulness in this endeavor. Gratefully yours, Mark Haas Dakota State University http://www.homepages.dsu.edu/haasm/
