While I agree with the other (unquoted) points in Brian's posting, I have to demur on this one. Often, an initial inquiry doesn't jog my memory enough for a reply, but once I see other people's responses, I begin thinking about those titles and forming associations which lead to other titles not posted; I asume this is probably true for other respondents as well. So the rest of us may have to see a few of the same titles in several postings, but the original inquirer probably winds up with more information this way. Richard J.
