Hi all,

I, too, have asked the list for NVC information at times, and its been
really helpful. 

But Jim, our dedicated list administrator, has just indicated that he'd like
to keep us a little more on topic.

Maybe if you want to send such posts - and they definitely don't bother me -
- you should remind people to reply of line, so we don�t get into yet more
off-topic discussions across the whole list?

Joy
