And read your own emails *before* sending them   :)

Actually, CM has given some very good advice!  As I am probably 
the oldest person on this list, so my penny's worth is that some 
going over old stuff is good - learning is repetitious and  
memory is not going to get better with age, so learn to live 
with it (it being the frailty of memory...)
