Hello Brent,
Good you took care of that. Now I know why my answer bounced back.
As I explained him I understand his problem and that is one reason we
have this new list , and I can even see some humor in it, BUT not by
sending it to you and the others because why should you and the others
get it when you all were doing a great job to helping each other?
Best regards,
Mark Alberts
