OK; Now I'm trapped. I applaud the guidelines for posting messages, and =
yet
I'm going to break the rules. It's because someone else broke the rules =
and
didn't give their e-mail address. I suspect that if we followed all the
rules to the letter, things might get a bit restrictive and 'stiff'. =
And
perhaps inconsistent, because a bit of humor and banter is part of the
camaraderie; which the guidelines say is one of the purposes of the
Reflector. But I believe that better adherence to the guidelines would =
be
helpful.

It is true that there are many messages (like the one I'm transmitting
below) that should be taken off list. It was very easy in the past when
clicking reply resulted in both the reflector address, and the address =
of
the sender of the message appearing in the "To." window. One could then
just delete the reflector address, and the message would go off list. =
Since
I note that hardly anyone is including their address, would it be good =
to
return to that approach?

Al, I think I met you at Mark Machado's in Lincoln several years ago. Is
that right? Are you in the San Diego area?

I'm based at El Monte EMT near Los Angeles.

Yes, I think we did meet in Lincoln in the distant past. I am in Vista,
north of San Diego. What is your e-mail address?
