To Rick and all of the other thoughtful posters out there on the subject of
options for serials checkin, I wish to say that I, for one, have benefitted
from this discussion.  This sort of freewheeling discussion with many
different points of view is of tremendous value to someone who often lacks
the opportunity to trade ideas with other serialists facing the same
problems.  BTW, whenever a discussion on this or any list is not of
interest to me, I rely on my wonderful delete key....
