Thanks to the anonymous poster who gave me that reminder! This isn't the
first time I forgot that consideration... (blush).
FYI... not all of us have mail packages that tell who the original poster
was on list messages. Please include your name and e-mail address so we
can get back to you privately, if we want.

Pete,
Well, here are my thoughts...
1) Can you tell me why most companies ship perfect bound manuals instead
of spiral-bound?
Perfect-binding is somewhat cheaper than spirals.
