Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Ms. Moderator,L.D.,
                                       Nice to know your still kicking!
<ggg>
But, don't get to upset, it ain't worth it!  A little friendly
bantering let's me know the list is still working.....saves me
from sending test messages.  No one has really reached
hostility, yet.....just difference of opinion. If previous history
is any predictor, wiith enough discussion , they'll probably
become arachne friends.  After all, they both enjoy promoting
and using Arachne.

Eric
