The invitation indicated it was from a specific person (intitals =3D=20
R.P.)(at first I had his name in my first message, and deleted it) who=20
is a regular on this list. I had assumed that he had initiated that=20
request, and numerous others had received the same invitation. Did=20
anyone else receive the same invitation?? Interesting thought that he=20
had not initiated the request, but then why would his name be there? I=20
am not interested in leaving the list at this time, and do know enough=20
to do that quietly if need be. I would hope the instigator of this see=20
this thread, and take appropriate action to reverse his actions.   :)
