Thanks for your comment. The material is highly fragmented with
on-topic interspersed with off-topic. So I've been picking out the
plumper stuff for this group and the non-plumper for the older-women
group. If I cut the gals in half, blindly, first that would hurt them
terribly <G> but second, the intermix'd stuff would still be off-topic
here. I know I've not been chastised for some of my off-topic
posting, but still at a higher volume I would deserve many slings and
arrows (although Usenet has become a kinder, gentler place of late).
Anyway I do appreciate comments of any kind because it tells me there
is still an audience!
