I'm going to be going off line for up to 3 months. it'll suck because then I'll be missing all that is going on in the emails. while i am off line, I'm going to try to figure out the auto reply and don't want it to keep sending you guys needless "closed for now" replies to each email, so if i can be turned off for now from the list, i think it would be helpful to all.
It has been great readying everything so far, even if it's not something I am able to use at the moment (and I'm sure I'll be asking about it again someday anyway because I'd most likely forget it by then), but anyway, it's been fun and I look forward to catching up with you folks soon (I hope!).
