Hi listees and Mr. Andes -

I have to agree with Mark here. Mr. Andes words caught me bright
and early in the morning before my coffee kicked in, and I was
feeling pissy. I really should put a lock on my keyboard early in
the morning.

I apologize to the list and to Mr. Andes for my harsh choice of
words. I stand by the underlying message and sentiment of my
letter, but I regret my choice of harsh words. In hindsight, I
could have expressed my displeasure in a more tasteful way.

Regards,

MikeG
