I received the "It's tooo hard" responses b4 i could reply with My vote. IF it is tooo hard to change the list name, then disregard the rest of this! BUT if not then I vote we change the name. I think that there is MORE than enough mail generated about the //'s without the Mac pushing it's nose in here, and the LIST name IS a little ambiguous. You know it was less than a year ago that the hot topic on this list was whether to make a seperate //gs list!! So! I see 3 alternatives. 1. change the name 2. stop talkin Macs! 3. tell me to shut up Seriously though, there may be more people out there, like me, who saw the "It's too Hard" messages and didn't respond. so if (I repeat) it is not too hard to change the name, then why not put it to a vote. Murray Stevens@Seneca Thanks In advance, In retrospect, and otherwise For LISTENING
