I am on a quilting list now that has over 600 subscribers!  Glad that
they don't post everyday too!

Okay!  Thanks!

Right, gotcha on this part!

On the list I am on all emails from each day are compressed into a digest
for those wanting the digest only.  We also have several "filters" such as
Q for Quilt mail Only, Swaps for the swap mail, GQ for group quilt mail, and
NQ for the not quilt related mail.

Thanks Lee Ann!

Then you may post them with the author's permission!  Post away!!
PK->Hmm, moderator?  Who is that again?  OH YES!  It is ME!!
 LAH> Hi Pat . . . I just could not recall who moderated this one. 
 LAH> Thanks. 
I run such a heavy-handed ship here, how could you forget?   :)
 LAH> We have l-o-t-s of fun there and we're a very "chatty" group. 
 LAH> There are over 20 exchanges in operation and I just joined the

Sounds like fun!!  I may wait a bit before joining though.  I have so 
many quilts and the like to do before Christmas that I don't need any 
reasons to stay in front of the computer all day!  :)
 
Later!,
