I see part of the raison d'être of this group as being a place where the newbies can discuss amongst themselves. They know they can get help from -questions if that's what they want. On the other hand, I suppose, something should be done to avoid incorrect information being passed around, but that should be done as gently as possible. I don't think any other kind of unsolicted answer should come from those "in the know". Sue, as long as you haven't lost interest, could you maybe be the medium for dissemination of such corrections?
