[ RadSafe ] What is happening to this list?

[John Jacobus]

Patrick,
I think it is important to hear other points of view,
even if you do not agree with them.  As I frequently
respond to questions raised by non-technical people, I
have found it helpful to understand where they are
getting their ideas from.  

You may consider using the delete key if you do not
want to read a message from a particular person or
subject line.
