I have come to the conclusion that the reading comprehension of several on this list leaves something to be desired. I never suggested that people should put their contact information on, in fact I said it would be a good idea when asking people to contact them. Now, since either I can't write English, or others can't read it with decent comprehension, I'v esaid quite enough. Tom and I have communicated privately now, and the rest can just get off it!

Hi, Tracy.

You mean well, but Tom has acknowledged that not including his email address on his offer was an oversight. It begins to feel like one more example of no good deed going unpunished.

As for your suggestion that each lister put our email address at the foot of each message, I personally get tired of right-shifting past lines of needless text, whether it's contact info or cute quotations. For the times we want to contact someone off-list, obtaining the address from the message content is easy enough.

Sorry to harp on a subject, but my contact information is at the bottom of every one of my messages. I'm not suggesting that everyone must do that, but it seems like it's certainly a good idea if you ask to be contacted for information.

Hi, Tracy writes:

I'd be interested in having the comprehensive list of key strokes for Word 2007. I'd write to Tom off list, but I found it mentioned in the midst of an ongoing message and don't have an off list address for him. Why do people say, "Contact me off list," and then not give off list contact information?

Well, speaking for myself, (1) I didn't remember to do that, and (2) most times if you look at the Internet headers for a message, even if it originates from a listserv, you can usually figure it out. That's how I found your address and wrote you off-list. You should have the file momentarily.

Anyway, thanks for any help. I'm amazed at how much I continue to learn about JAWS, as well as other programs by staying on this list.

Yeah, it's a pretty good resource. Sometimes the signal to noise ratio isn't so good, but hey, that's the nature of listservs.

Tom
