My dear friend Nappy,

Since you are now replying in the form of a friend, I will take the gesture
at face value and say thank you.

I still do not understand the concept of "off-list". If there is some method
of exchanging information with another newsgroup person such as you earlier
referred to, I certainly would appreciate learning how to do it. 20 GByte
uploads and downloads are clearly enormous, and I am merely seeking your
suggestion about how the original poster can be reached with my home address
and phone number to contact me. I initially suggested he provide an email
address, but I certainly welcome any better method you have to offer.

Once again, thank you.

Smarty
