The only reason I posted, was to remind this list of the very real bandwidth
problems that exist in the Third world. I had the phone message "all
circuits are busy" last night, when I wanted to send the email out.  I like
to make  the not-so-bandwidth-considerate US-centered posters, such as
yourself, aware.
Sorry that you didn't get it. Read it again.
And don't write. Each of your html-filled messages actually costs me 5 pesos
here.
Cross postings are a real pest under no-bandwidth conditions.

It would be inexcusable if Esther would think as US-centered as you, but
fortunately she doesn't.
from the end of a very narrow pipe,
