Sean, I'm sure Bruce meant no offense when he pointed that the public posting of one's home phone number is not a practice CIS encourages. The recent piece on 20/20, or one of those other tv magazine programs, pointed quite well how such postings can lead to grief. As for email vs. forum responses to questions, we've always felt that we have an above average group of members in the grahpics areas, and a lot of subscribers learn a great deal from reading other's questions and the responses provided. I can honestly say that in the 3+ years that I have been around these areas I have never seen CIS do anyting that was designed to increase the amount of online time a subscriber had to use. Quite the contrary, they have gone out of their way to promote programs like TAPICS and other navigator programs that dramaticly reduce a member's online time. Hope you don't let this keep you from frequenting these areas! We all benefit from the expertise someone of your experience brings to the discussions. John Parker
