Hi:
My apologies to the list - I've had no time to look at email the last
week. My first look at the list and I see trouble.
I don't have time to look at this closely, but I see that Sandy King, one
of the individuals I have entrusted to help mind the list has posted on
this.
Please follow his advice.
I will be back to the list next week.
Gord
List Manager.
