HI Apologies to reply to list. This is a related request to the GEM administrator - please could you re-circulate instructions on how to change our settings to enable us to get a GEM topics daily round up rather than every email. This will help users who require more inbox control without limiting those who benefit from participating more fully in the forum community. Thanks very much indeed.

As a freelancer working as a sole trader the GEM list has proved to be both informative and entertaining - I feel connected to others in the network, free to ask and answer queries or calls for information. Not all postings are deeply intellectual but hey, life can be like that and it is what the delete button is for. I am now concerned that GEM members will feel apprehensive about posting a wide range of questions fearing they are not 'the right sort of question' - I sincerely hope that will not be the case! I quite like the odd human quip whilst slaving away in my lofty office. I also like to see the collated responses to questions on request if it is a subject I am interested in.
