Like you, I've tried to participate in listservs, but the repetition of threads and the lack of cutting and pasting (plus the general difficulty of use....why not a forum-style set up, instead?) keeps me from logging in very often.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-80438682568965387402009-06-30T08:00:17.335-04:002009-06-30T08:00:17.335-04:00Sharon, thanks for contributing to my store of gen...Sharon, thanks for contributing to my store of general knowledge with the name of the guy who invented the smiley.
