Hi again Chris,

Okay, I don't know if what I am doing is irritating you or causing you some
extra time or work, or just what.  I agree that Netmail is better for person-
to-person communication but in at least one case I do not have the person's
Netmail address.  I thought you were giving me a *choice* of whether to have
the private flag stripped.  Looking up two paragraphs, I stated there were
"good reasons" why I used the private flag on a few of my messages.
(snip)....
CB>Echomail already goes 'all over the place'. this is not a Sysop-only Echo 
so
CB>Private flagged traffic cannot be read by anyone other than a Sysop. 
what's t
CB>point?
None, really, just being cordial.  Just in case you are curious about the
messages you cannot read, I am developing an interview with Roger Brown
(for one thing).  He is going to be a special guest on the conference I
moderate, CN Legal_Arts.  I will ask Roger for his Internet address and, if
he has one, we will set this interview up and perfect it that way.
Thanks for the post Chris.  I hope I have understood and answered your
concerns.
Don
