Blair,

I think that is the best suggestion I've heard. And that is what I've been

doing all along.

Blair, I agree, which is why I have un-suscribed to s list. I

think those of us that are serious pre-ops and the post-ops should un-

subscribe. We make of more than half of her audience. , MGB

Amen! I could not have said that better myself. I really miss reading

the list (the way it used to be) every day. I promise to ignore any

negative posts. There are people here who need support, including me

and I totally agree that in this case, it will be best just to ignore

all the negative posts. I can't post much right now because I will

only have a computer in the evenings until my other one is out of

repair, so if you need a contact, I will get back with you as soon as

I can.
