[Rhodes22-list] Luis please help Mark

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

Thanks Dave ... I actually have been a frequent reader of the FAQ ... I'm not sure who updates the FAQ or how often, but it is very helpful.  Of course, not everything is posted there, so I can't always research the more obscure references to past discussions in the FAQ.
 
-Mark
 
P.S. I'm not taking anything personally ... it just gets tiring for one particular contributor to keep grumping about the archive, when it's not exactly the easist thing to open, much less navigate.

Mark, you may already have done this, but if you just go the the FAQ on the
link below, you should be able to just view through your browser.

http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/

By the way, as a fairly new list viewer and recent R22 buyer, I learned not
to take anything said by some of the more active contributors personally.
It becomes a form of entertainment once you get used to it.

Dave
