Yes, it did. Shortly after or around the time that James took over the
running of the list, or was it in bruce's reign? Whatever, Debbie was
satisfied with how this list was going, and wanted to do other things
(don't most of us) <grin> Incidentally, it helps if, on lists, one puts
on a fairly thick skin to ward off the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune. This JAWS list has been going, in one incarnation or another,
since 1994.

Did the jfw lite list shut down? I was trying to reach them and wasn't
told
anything. Their contact is still on their site but I wasn't able to
contact
