I suppose you probably have a way to do that on the list itself (I didn't bother looking), but I thought this way would be easier.<BR/><BR/>- Bruce (running for cover)<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Each index has a page that explains how to order the records from that index but 9/10 of the emails I receive are ones that ask how to get the record. Very frustrating. <BR/><BR/>I usually respond, very politely, by giving them the link to the page with the information rather than telling them directly. Usually don't hear back from them so assume they found what they needed.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to blogging...Becky Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074730861618500334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171024043917795336.post-59223659968199908342007-03-24T18:32:00.000-07:002007-03-24T18:32:00.000-07:00Hey, I merely smiled... er... grinned... ummm... s...Hey, I merely smiled... er... grinned... ummm... smirked a little.<BR/><BR/>OK, there *might* have been a guffaw buried in there somewhere.Drew Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537180168534039546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171024043917795336.post-13937765466565810232007-03-22T20:10:00.000-07:002007-03-22T20:10:00.000-07:00Cindy,Rants are fun, aren't they?
