 Mahalo Dusty,

At last a reasonable voice. I believe the person was only asking for
help too. 

By the way there are some people on this list who send two or three mail
postings each time they make a comment. I don't think it is intentional
or spam. In fact it has been discussed a couple of times in the past.
Maybe something in our sign up mail program is doing this. 

Maybe Ray or some one familiar with the mail to the list program could
source the problem.
