It's my pleasure Kathie! Like it's been said, it's nice to be able to
give back once in a while!
On the other matter, I confess I'm a stickler for proper grammar in
proper situations. I don't reckon email *necessarily* qualifies as one
of those, unless it's for formal communication purposes. Then the rules
of normal written language should apply. But in a setting like this -
amongst friends - then it's the typed equivalent of slang so far as I'm
concerned and I don't think anybody should get too het up about whether
we've got apostrophes in the right places!!!
Now all I need to do is remember where to find a glossary of all those
little <g> type thingies .... Hmmm

Anne,
I didn't even put your advice in my keepers file. I'm printing my key
commands right now! Thank you so much my friend.
Sweet Dreams
AND
Off Topic, I apologize. There is a person on this list who a a monster
genealogist. I need to talk to you about where a colleague of mine
might find funding for cemetery restoration (that GPS thing you're doing
is awesome by the way). Please contact me off list.
As to grammar--rules get in the way as people are writing, they are
meant to come in AFTER its written to improve the read-ability. As
emails are generally informal and top-of-the head, be gentle with
yourself as long as we can basically figure out what you asked, we
promise not to conclude that you are an idiot because you used "your"
incorrectly. I've written two articles on improving your writing for
Non-Profits (but it helps you all
too) so as you all are avoiding your real work, here's a link (you guys
link too! Okay, yeah, for office stuff, but still) to "You are a Person
Out With Whom I Like To Hang Parts One and Two" :
