Re: What's Scanning?

This message hardly warrents a response. Since many of the list members are
some of the most knowledgable and helpful in the business, I suggest you
wait a minute...you just might learn something. In the meantime, if
somebody's sense of humor, or topic doesn't agree with you, well, that's
what the delete button is for.

I can't tell you how much I have learned from the contributors to this list.
It has been invaluable.
