The FAQ contains instructions on how to add tags to the "Subject" line of your posts, so that your request for me to obscure your email address or publish your post anonymously will trigger auto- magic routing that assures I don't accidentally send your post out to the world with information you'd rather it did not have. Bill Horne P.S. Readers will please note that the "Moderator's Note" line, above, is exactly 70 characters wide. The FAQ will tell you why.
