I suggest adding a sentence to above paragraph that discusion of OTHER PC
topics belongs in the non-tech list or in PC lists outside of midrange dot
com.

You might add a sentence that we all appreciate the posts & suggestions that
people make ... it is not neccessary to be thanking every post.  However, if
some suggestion does in fact solve some participant problem, we would
appreciate being told so that the thread can end.

Suggest adding a sentence or two to this reminding user group promoters that
there is a place on midrange dot com to have your group listed & possibly
also include a plug for Don in DC's www.eserverusergroup.org

I suggest the addition of a sentence somewhere in the above stuff.
Journalists who wish to use material found in MIDRANGE-L
they need to get the permission of BOTH the list owner
and the individuals who posted the material
