>Even worse, Donald, there were no archives when Iris-L started.

There weren't?  They were there when I joined, if I remember correctly.
After an initial post, I spent several weeks reading them from the
beginning.  I think someone brought them to my attention, so I more or less
'caught up' with what had been posted prior to my joining.  That'd be a lot
of reading for a newbie to the list now.  Still worthwhile to check for
specific topics, but it would be a chore to go through all the posts.  In
any case, I enjoy reruns.  I never know when a new voice will add a new
slant to an old subect.  Not to mention that the archives tend to be cranky
and lock up when I go there.

See!  And your password just strikes me as funny!  Doesn't bother me at all.
'Course I might feel differently if it'd been me with the inventive moniker.
I expect I'd live with it and laugh about it while wearing a red face,
though.  Or I might feel it was exactly right considering some of the
trouble I had with Yahoo.
