I believe I did mention that in one of my former posts. I sent you a

personal e-mail for just that reason- it was personal. You then wrote

me back and asked if I wouldn't mind you posting it on the forum. I

said no I wouldn't mind but please be sure to say that the content

was from a personal e-mail. Then you turned it around to look as

though I would secretly tell you I thought the individuals on this

forum were sophisticated, but not share it with the whole group. What

was your motivation in doing so?

Hi Dr. Pilcher (),Thanks for the kind reply. Shall I post it on

the board, or anotherreply? 's (the list owner) clarifying posts
