Precisely. The wild card searches for 0 through N number of characters, where N 
is any number.

  I think that 0 - n means a series of numbers from zero to an indefinite 
termination point.

  I don't mind you asking at all Roger.

  I will be 57 in  November

  and thanks a million,

  I will hang in,

  and truly most have  bent over backwards to help  me,

  and I appreciate it, and I will probably have loads of questions as I go 
along,

  I'm glad you hung in there as well,

  it wouldn't be the same, without your encouragement.

  Have a good evening,

  and again thanks so much.

  Gwen

  Subject: Just a little encouragement

  Hi Gwen, I notice that you and Amber are having a little difficulty with 
Elizabeth. To be honest, I really don't think she means to offend. She is just
  a bit blunt and undiplomatic. It could also be a bit of the fact that tone of 
voice does not translate well in email. Nevertheless, even as I read her
  comments to you and Amber before I read your responses I did think myself 
that she was being a little harsh. I will assure you, though, that she is 
something
  of a stickler for accuracy in topic line. Whenever a thread strays away from 
its original topic she will admonish someone to change the subject line and
  if someone brings up an off topic matter and forgets to put O T in the 
subject line you will be sure she will remind them. Unfortunately, her reminders
  are always rather blunt. Whether she just accidentally offends or is just 
cantankerous, though, I don't think any of the rest of us think you have done
  anything wrong and I, at least, quite enjoy having you on the list. Our job 
on this list is to help each other and as a new volunteer who does not know
  all the technical details of volunteering you give us a chance to do our job. 
It will be especially gratifying when we have done our job so well that we
  will see you giving helpful advice to the newbies to come. I certainly hope 
that you will not unsubscribe and I very much hope you will not give up. At
  the same time I can know how you feel. About last January on the Bookshare 
general discussion list I made a casual comment that a lot of people apparently
  did not like. Suddenly I was the recipient of a torrent of personal attacks. 
My efforts to defend myself caused a list member to report me to Bookshare
  for being "disruptive." I was even accused of being angry and bitter. I don't 
think anyone who knows me personally would think I was angry and bitter.
  Well, it was only an email list, but I think I can say that my feelings were 
a bit hurt, to say the least. I hung in here, though, and I hope you will
  do the same. After all, in your case it is only one person.

  Now, I have a question if you don't mind my asking. If you do, just don't 
answer and it will be okay. In one of your responses you said something about
  what you would do if you were an older person. Somehow I had been thinking of 
you as being in your early thirties and when you said that I realized that
  I had absolutely no reason to think that or to think you were any age. Now I 
am a bit curious. I wonder how old you might be?

free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot." Vladimir Lenin
