[Logic] Email List Etiquette

[Ron Jones]

Hi Skip,
         Perhaps your example of a comment with no real value was not a 
good example - "thanks, that worked" contains tons of useful valuable 
information to those of us who have been following a thread. But, your 
point is well taken. We should try to convey useful information to the group.

73 and keep us on track, Skip!
