Hi. From what I am reading on this list, nobody is criticizing you. I
agree with book port users making valid suggestions. What I do not agree
with are comments made to the effect of why bother making suggestions,
you'll just be shot down, you will learn, nobody cares about your
suggestions, etc., etc. Please keep making suggestions.
