Dan,

Well I suppose then the new requirement would be to keep any comment or
discussion to below 50 words. That  saves even more time.

Really, it dos not make much sense to incorporate your email costs in to the
costs of being on the LUG or for that matter on any other free forum.
Next thing you'll complain about the fuel costs of your car trip, when you go
to the cinema  with your complimentary movie tickets,
