Hi All, 
Regarding e-mail etiquette:  Until Doug's note I believed my
out-of-office auto-replies were being blocked by the corporate firewall.
I certainly was surprised by the comments.

Newly enlightened, I ran an experiment today.  Instead of using
Outlook's "Out of Office" assistant, I set up a rule which applies to
e-mails directed to me:  the server will send a pre-written "out of
office" e-mail back to the sender.  E-mails sent to a distribution of
which I am a member (such as "si-list") will not get the autoresponse.
My "test" e-mail seemed to work effectively (although I did appreciate
the pain of the multitude of auto-replies, some are pretty funny).  I
don't think Ray's modification will affect this result, but perhaps the
effort is no longer necessary. 

And "hi" to those in the industry who remember me!  I'm still alive and
kicking.  I hope you're all doing well. 

Best regards, 
Fran
