         Dana - and everyone,

         Paul has made it clear that no high speed cellular service is
         available in his locality.

         The problem is this: no one (except a few) sits in front of
         his computer all day, and answers email as it pops up.
         When a thread starts, most start reading from the first
         post of the day, and answer accordingly.

         Hence, Paul: Lots of people are offering kindly solutions
         to your announced problems.  They DON'T KNOW that
         you have said there is no high speed cell service available.
         At least not when the answered the earlier posts.

         So don't get frustrated and snappy at them .... just be
         happy so many wanted to help.

         Everyone else: this is an issue on which we all could be a bit
         more aware. As we read a thread, we don't want to give
         someone like Paul the impression we are "piling on" ... even
         though we are just answering what we thought was a
         simple question.  Even if you suddenly realize you are
         not the first (or fifth) to respond to Paul (or someone else),
         don't take his frustrated response as a cue to snap back at him.

         OK?

         thanks!
