That's all fine and good but I never SUGGESTED that people get an AOL 
account. As long as you can DOWNLOAD from your own server than you can get 
them!! I sent them out to people who use many different providers, not just 
AOL. Where did you get the impression that I want folks to join AOL??? I'm 
not going to get into an argument with you so let's forget it ok? This is a 
free service that I'm offering that could be invaluable to some people who 
are just starting a search.

The reason I said to send me their requests in *private* was because I also 
moderate a mailing list and one thing that I hate is mail clutter and it 
annoys my server as well. I just didn't want your list to be *cluttered* with 
a bunch of "Yes! Send me one" posts ok? No offense please. I thought I was 
helping. Sorry.

And again, I wasn't trying to force people to do anything here. Gosh! You try 
to do something nice.......
