Rick,

Thanks.  There is something very strange going on.  The message you
replied to came to my mailbox a couple of days ago.  It was sent
November 13th, 2003.

I haven't recieved any other mail on this list in a while.  Has it
been very quiet of just my account that is odd?

BTW, I sent this June 16th, 2004.  Let's see how it goes :-)
