Subscription configuration (was: [NCSG-Discuss] knitters needle)

[Nuno Garcia]

Hi Alain, all:

Just want to say that these are the messages that help build up a community
in its true sense, so I welcome these more relaxed messages and do not, at
all, view them as a waste.

In fact, I think I will need to learn how to make "tricot".

Nevertheless, Brenden tips are most useful for some of us.

All the best,

Nuno
