REPLY:

With all due respect Shelby, I think you are missing the point of having
a reflector vs just sending personal emails. 

Invariably, topics will come up that individuals may not have thought
about but which raise questions or offer suggestions they can use. I
certainly don't now it all and I read each and every post in the hope
that I can glean something new. Also, I don't expect everyone to operate
exactly as I do - in fact there was a suggestion just today about
changing a macro which I am going to adopt in future contests. I have
been RTTY contesting since 1993 and I thought all my macros were already
at optimum. Not so. 

Please keep an open mind. We are never too old or too experienced to
learn something new and useful.
