Re: sqft: recipes etc. - admin note

Melissa,

I agree; please remove me from the list as well.  It's to the point now that
I'm afraid to make a post for fear it may be "off-topic."  While I understand
your responsibilities, it isn't any fun to get chewed out every time I log on.

Thanks,

Melissa,

Please take me off the list.  I understand your
point about responsibilities to the system admin-
istrators, but this hardline has taken the "fun"
out of this list.
