Annemehr:
Sorry, Christian, I don't know how to make that "o" with a "/" through
it on my keyboard!

Annemehr:
If an AOL user got a (free) yahoo e-mail account just for use on yahoo
groups, would that work?

And I think this method of attribution I use here, with a name before
each and every section of material including my own, is pretty clear
whether the ">" thingies are there or not.  It also makes it very easy
for someone to respond to individual sections.  On the other hand, I
agree that having all the attributions nested at the top is very
confusing, especially on a thread that develops a lot of
back-and-forth arguments.  What do you all think?

who still signs at the bottom even though her name's right up there,
and liked these little sigs too but had gotten out of the habit...
