I hope those of you who are interested in this subject are not tiring of =
reading all these instalments! I just felt that everyone who e-mailed me =
had something interesting and useful to impart and I wanted to share it. =
I hope this will be the last one! (And it is!)..

have managed it.
Happy New Year to all Listmates!
