If you put your email address in the body of your posting, eGroups server always deletes the last character of your email address and replaces it with a "-". This is to inhibit the spam-robots from harvesting names from the archives and filling your mailbox full of garbage. When you post something to the list and want people to write back to you directly, you have to tell the list what the missing character is. Please put a comment in the mail right after your address that "the character just before the @ is an "x" or whatever. The 'bots will not pick up on this. Dave
