Well, thanks to Larissa Overmier, I think that the point has been overwhelmingly made that there are a multitude of splintering-opportunities out there in Listserve-Land. As for me, I'm with Anita Cohen-Williams; I love her "New Books" postings, Hank Burchard's acerbic wit, those sincere attempts to render an idea or questions in broken english, along with all of the rest of the diversity of Museum-L. It takes a little attention to mailbox management to figure out an efficient way to handle all of the mail - just remember to use the "SET NOMAIL" command when you want a breather or will be going out of town. Also, remember this famous line? "To Digest, or not to Digest...That is the Question..." Cheers! Dave David Harvey Conservator of Metals & Arms Colonial Williamsburg Foundation P.O.
