[SEL] List Maners

[Mike Royster]

For me it's usually because if I don't know the answer, no need to comment. 
Also I rarely get to read the emails before 9 at night, so usually somebody 
that also knows has beat me to it.  The rest I don't worry about, being 
flamed by Dr. Dave is much like a rite of passage!  I have learned much from 
the SEl and encourage all to participate with no fear.  I have an older 
brother, been corrected all my life, no big deal!  Join in guys and gals, 
it's fun and even educational.

All the best,
Mike Royster
