Pardon me, Margo, but our "List Mom" show a great deal of patience and
respect for others--in my humble opinion.  These "Listees" as you call
them GET THEMSELVES ON THIS LIST.  Then the next thing you know, there
they are "demanding" to be "taken" off.  And generally speaking, they
are way more than rude to us all.  If they would take a few seconds to
actually READ something instead of firing away at their key boards,
they'd see that the message on how to "unsubscribe" is right in front
of their noses!

Three cheers for our "List Mom"!!!!!
