dear becky and kathleen, Becky, this is a very good idea--adding the permission granted assumption to the subscriber info. Thanks for considering this, Kathleen. Would you also explain (as I am sure I am not the only computer-literacy impaired) how lactnet works? Specifically I wonder why it usually says "special edition" and why it usually says my message has been transmitted to "22 recipients." there's over a thousand of us right? Or are the 22 recipients just some sort of cyberspace division -- like maybe the various service providers? Does everyone's message get sent to everyone else? or is their a random selection process. I don't think I read about these things in the introduction--sorry if I missed it. TIA (which means THANKS IN ADVANCE, I think!) Meg Wright, PA-c, LLLL
