Thank you for speaking up for us.

Unfortunately you got it wrong. Unless you were using the archaic royal "we". Or unless you just forgot to say what "we" you were talking about.

Seconded. Gary Jeffers does not speak for me. Tim May does not speak for me. Roger Bryner most certainly does not speak for me. L.Detweiler not only doesn't speak for me, he doesn't even speak for himself :-) The only person who speaks for me here is me, and I'd like to keep it that way. Also (not related to the postings above) whenever anyone speaks to the press, *please* try to convey you're a member of this list speaking personally, and not speaking for the list. Even if the journalist deliberately ignores you when he writes it up, I'd like folks to make the effort first. G
