Gawd Dang it. I got to go to meetings about the 'numbers cliff' we are going over with the Domes and wanted to present the petition that was posted way back in FFL post 3811. Evidently the text of the petition pasted in that post was bracketed by arrows that yahoo is no longer reading. Damn. It was post 3811, back on Dec 31, 2002. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/3811
Can anybody extract that text now? I'd like to read it sooner than waiting for yahoo later to figure it out.
