I don't think anyone is trying to kill APIS 98. Your were off the list for
a long time and then came on with a message that sounded very tentative and
besides you had shifted the APIS from one part of the country to another.
The way you said it that sounded like they were constructing or revamping
the place now, and hoped to be finished by July. You didn't quite say that,
but it came off that way to me. This left some folks wondering.
I think we are all happy that it is going to happen.
If you will forward the latest info as it happens, I'll post it up on my
web site under the APIS section for all to see. Also post it to the list.
Sorry, for any misunderstanding.
