Just in case there's anyone out there holding his or her breath after my earlier faux pas, I thought I'd pass along the news that "Val" and I have worked everything out and things are fine. Sorry about intruding my personal moment into the wrong venue. I have been a silent participant in this list for almost three years now, and have found the discussions interesting and the bibliographies useful. I hope one day to squeeze out a little time to be a more vocal participant. Karen Karen J.
