Wow! I finally have something in common with Dyna.

I too was unsubscribed from the McLaughlin mailing list.  One I didn't know I 
was on it and two, I don't know what I did to get unsubscribed (perhaps a 
posting on this list critizing McLaughlin's platform as "poll-tested buzz 
words" did it).

Anyway, it was fun while it lasted, I will look fondly on those care-free days 
as a member of the Peter McLaughlin for Mayor e-mail mailing list.
