Catrina -- could you please tell me what it was specifically in my email
(below) that reminds you of the Satanic Verses??!

For the newbies, just a reminder -- please try to hit reply & keep the
bit that you are responding to above or below your own comments (or
highlighted in some manner) so that everyone knows what you're referring
to.  And, while I'm harping on admin stuff -- don't forget about those
subject lines!  Try to make them specific -- I did use the topic
"Various" this morning, only because I was responding to a number of
topics, none of which were all that significant.

Thanks --

Penny
