I agree with your assessment. Of course, after I sent my missive I bothered to check where it was going. My mistake in thinking that I was replying to just one person. I am not bothered in the least by the reaction. I have more important things in Life(tm) to worry about... I will try to make it to the meeting. -- Virtually, Tom W _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
