Hi All,

I just read this as it came over the net;

>Looking for sources to whom and notify (I assume they are PD).

It seems like I wrote about this before, but I'll do it again for those who 
missed (or ignored) it.  [Not that anyone is obligated to pay attention,
but it would be nice if some would.] 

I know that the person who sent this message knows exactly what those 
programs are and do.  I, and I assume a certain percentage of the net 
members, do not.  If an explanation had been provided of the function of 
the programs, I might know of, or have programs that did the same thing 
that I could send.  Also, I might want a program like that too, but just a 
program name doesn't tell me what it does.

Please folks, don't just ask for a program by name and sign off, give at 
least a brief explanation of what the program does.  Some may say, "If you 
don't know, than you can't help."  If I subscribed to that line of crap, 
I'd quit computers immediately.  Just because I and other on the net don't 
know a program by a certain name, doesn't mean we can't help.

Give it a thought...

Thanks for listening,

Dan Graham
