Good grief, Mike. I said nothing about not respecting Don Goldberg. I

who is constantly trying to meet customer's perceived service needs.
Please read more carefully what I wrote.

You mention a very few specific examples, Mike. Their numbers pale
when compared to the number of expert and/or celebrity people who do
*not* participate in Lists.

Sorta doubt that, Mike, but who knows? Don't misread me, again. I
