Me too and other quandries....

One suggestion would be that the gentle who asks the question (and
supposedly receives answers) would post a summary of those answers to the
entire list after some suitable time (like 3-5 days or a week, depending on
how frequently the digests are sent out).

This would keep the mailing list volume comfortable, eliminate "me too"
posts and hopefully reach others who might also want to share the
information.

Respectfully submitted,
