Please don't take offense at this, I don't want to make anyone mad. I do want to do something about the 100 or so Xpert messages I get every day, too many of which have no general usefulness. I'm even reluctant to post this message, as opposed to sending it privately, but I want other people to get the message. I wish everyone posting to the net would ask himself: - is there any need for the whole net to see this message? - does this message contain information of definite value, or is it speculation, hearsay, or suggestions? If the latter, it might be better to send it privately to the person asking the question, with a request that they post if they confirm it. Thank you for your cooperation.
