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. Dean E.
