To andy - spammage??  D'you mean people joining the list?  People 
commenting on list?

To John - then you may want the book list.  :>  If you like, write me 
for it.  It's also archived.  Probably under the helpful subject line of 
"Book list" but maybe I was more creative.

Welcome to the list, John.

To Davdi - I wanted a general idea.  =grin=  It was kind of you to go 
into the subscriber info for me.

Perhaps "digested" came around like "bank depository" - off the cuff. 
The latter makes me gnash my teeth at ATMs.  All "digested" emails equal 
Nero Wolfe's opinion about contact... says I, with my list emails put in 
digest-format.

Thanks, gentlemen.
