Gary,

What did you think I meant about this?  I was simply saying that some of us 
do not have all of the expertise and haven't followed all the threads (and I 
mean ALL of them) that we might need, to know what is happening with 
podcasting and the like.  I have listened to a lot of stuff on Main Menu,on 
Mosen's site, on some tech podcasts, but I still need to get a regimen in 
place; for instance-- how to latch onto RSS URells and how to use the News 
Gator, when I have used Outlook Express but not Outlook, etc., etc., etc. 
So, when I say that this stuff sounds like an"inside job", where, on a 
public list people are talking about stuff that they know, I get frustrated 
and don't want to sound ignorant; does this make sense to you? I totally 
agree that this accessibility issue is slowly (unfortunately) being solved, 
but, let's try to tell each other what is going on, whenever we can!  It was 
just a turn in the road, where I thought it was time to sound off!!



Thanks,

-Mac-
