Sorry if this is my once a fortnight complete sense of humour collapse but:
If this is a genuine post, would you please consider perhaps leaving the
list? I think this would benefit all of us, because (I think) perhaps in a
short while your time spent corresponding with the list might become a
/waste/ of time, as your efforts would be of little positive benefit to
anyone, including yourself.
I have no wish to become any more aggressive, so will stop responding to
your posts until I'm satisfied that your post was not genuine.
Peace!
