[Rhodes22-list] Re: [rhodes-list] New list

[Rik Sandberg]

Uh....Alex,

Maybe those other lists don't have an MJM :-) :-)

For me, it's a good thing this last deal happened on a weekend when I'm too 
tied up and too far away from the computer to get my email. 'Cause I get 
WAY frustrated when I'm home and I can't get my Rhodes list sailing (or, is 
it people) fix. 4 or 5 days is just too long.

I like the idea of having more control over incidents like the last flaming 
deal too. And you have to admit, being able to send a picture once in a 
while will be nice.
