Jeff;
Sorry you misunderstood me. What you're doing is very noble. I meant to
question how you were excluding all but the list members, when you said
"specifically (that's the word) for the use and benefit of other list
members". I don't know alot about the iternet, and wanted to know how you
were making the list available only to list members?
