Hear, Hear. I had exactly the same thought until I recognized the name. I
agree we should all be aware of how we "Subject" posts so they do not end up
summarily discarded in the "Deleted Items" file.

Dost thou not know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?

| Gordon,
| I have no reply to the posting you made, but I would like to comment on
your
| email addressing.  The subject (Re: any interest) almost went completely
by
| me, along with the other 150 spam messages I get daily. I happened to
notice
| your name as a prior contributor to the list. I suggest to all members
that
| a subject containing an eye catching word like "navigation, or celestial,
| etc" be used.
