Why do people insist on posting coy messages, complete with web links, with absolutely no hint of the subject? This means you have to click on a link, and wait for a page to load, just to get a piece of information that might (or might not) be of interest. Including a simple summary such as "Pentax shares up 8%" in the message (or even, perhaps, in the subject line?) would be a courtesy to other readers of this list, especially those who are not on infinite-bandwidth broadband connections. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
