Hear, Hear. I had exactly the same thought until I recognized the name. I
agree we should all be aware of how we "Subject" posts so they do not end up
summarily discarded in the "Deleted Items" file.

| Gordon,
| I have no reply to the posting you made, but I would like to comment on
your
| email addressing. The subject (Re: any interest) almost went completely
by
| me, along with the other 150 spam messages I get daily. I happened to
notice
| your name as a prior contributor to the list. I suggest to all members
that
| a subject containing an eye catching word like "navigation, or celestial,
| etc" be used.
