Re: my responsiveness

Yes, I have e-mail at work and connect to the same server at home.

Let me attempt to clarify! 108 is not my message capacity on the server, it
is my capacity per "checking". Basicly, the server will only send 108
messages to my mail software, per "Check Mail" command. If it exceeds that,
I do _not_ loose mail. Instead, I have to log on to the server directly.

I understand completely! I do expect to be an effective member and one
capable of participating in the discussions and decision-making processes.
What I notified the list of was simply an accident, that I wanted to
explain! I didn't want it to seem as if I had dropped out of the
discussions!

Sorry for causing alarm.
