I don't know why you should worry about it, Jody;  nobody else does.
I read several lists and they all have various errors, if you look
for them.  But so what?  I read your list because of it content, not
it cosmetic beauty.  We are all in a hurry, we all type fast, we all
make misteaks;  but in this context I accept and ignore them.

Most of us have held voluntary jobs and can appreciate the time and effort
that you go to in bringing this service to your subscribers.  We thank you
most sincerely for what you have done in starting this very useful
exchange of ideas and information.  We can understand your wanting some
time for yourself!  The time has come.  Can we help you purchase the
software you need to automate the list?  Where shall I mail my
contribution?

Thanks again, and best wishes,    Jack
