Subject Line: Dags, not Hurricanes (and ISP's)

Hello Brigette! Welcome to the list. Now I suggest that you watch your subject line.
Some of us are deleting these hurricane postings without further ado. It is wonderful and

header, then there is a good chance you are going to get plonked real fast. Post dag
questions under a dag header.
