I hope this is not too silly of a question but this referes to
Martha...are there other postings similar to this Museum-L??  If so are
there any in Canada??
Others are welcome to reply:D
Thank you in advance

P.S I too agree that cross-postings are not 'bothersome' if you read it
already delete it, someone did take the time to type it or distribute
it, whereas it would have been much easier for them to sit on the
information.  However, it is good for someone to add a one liner to
appolagize to those who received simply "Sorry for x-postings if this
occurs..."  It's thoughtful but again if they forgot or didn't do it,
they shouldn't be penalized with an angry response!
