Hi Folks,
        I have gotten off line posts from people of a derogatory
Nature regarding forwarding Randall's posts.
        I am not aware of his being struck from the list and if
Anyone is having trouble posting to the list I am happy to pass
On their posts.
        If people have issues with Randall, please address those issues
To him directly and do not assume to put me "in the middle."
        Thanks, Michael
