I have the same dilemma as Keith, that is the influx of mail and material (it's welcome nevertheless, of course). Hence if your program, text material or the mail about them is NOT meant for general distrubution Y O U M U S T C L E A R L Y S T A T E S O Maintaining the arhives and making the announcements is too laborious otherwise. I know that this is a bit unconventional. But I must consider ALL material PUBLIC that is sent to me if not specifically stated otherwise by the sender. There is no other practical choice. Simple as that! All the best, Timo ...................................................................
