I just wanna say that I found the whole of this posting; seen, quoted
from - below - profoundly uplifting and patently sincere.. well said!
--start of quote----
I feel it is a gift to be allowed to tune into the HPN, it is making me
daily more aware of myself and others, and helping me find new
directions. Hopefully I'll be able to make some useful contributions to
HPN, through future thoughts & actions.
WELL, LOVING ALL OF YOU!

[BTW - A little technical tip for other list members with netscape
nav./communicator <at least for them and perhaps others...>
When postings come in that appear to have very long lines with no
useable start of new line at internet norm of 69 - 72 charactures...
(which in original form makes them a bit difficult to read .. especially
for those of us with a monitor less than 7' wide! ;) - my own little
"work arround" this problem is to simply click away as if I inteded
forwarding the article some place - as and if necessary (ie useing
largely default settings...!) then hitting the little "quote from
original mail-" button that throws the long-lined text into this new
"outgoing forwarded mail editor window" - one is then pleasantly
supprised to find that the quoted text has been wordwrapped real nice so
as to be easily and comfortably readable.
Then assumeing that having read the message one does not actually
"really-" want to forward this particular incomming text- one simply
hits the (win'95) top right [x] button to close the window and
then [yes] to confirm that one really does want to scrap the unedited
text etc.
Effect - with only a few mouse clicks and no need to open any additional
applications etc.. one has a _normally_ readable copy of the incomming
abnormally formated/largely unformated text!
