folks-
I'm very sorry to have spammed the list, and I certainly did not mean to
incite a flame war over it. It was purely an accident on my part; I meant to
send this email to a friend of mine and didn't notice I had done the wrong
thing until I came back and saw 20 messages on the topic. I receive lots of
valuable information through this list, and an incident such as this will not
happen again. My deepest apologies.
