Off Topic (sorry) - Moderator's comments

[Paul K. Dean]

First off, sorry to hear of your e-mail problems, Ed.  It can be a real
pain when one has to change e-mail addresses and most frustrating when it
is made necessary by circumstances not of your choosing.

In terms of this message, to the group, this is border-line for what I
would normally approve for distribution to the list.  I considered it for a
while then decided to allow it to go through, for the group's FYI, more or
less under the "virus warning" policy we've developed over the past year.
Essentially, the originator takes responsibility for the content, I allow
it through for the information of the group, but then we don't let the
flaming threads get started.

So, please take or leave Ed's warning as you see fit, but if you wish to
flame, do so in another venue.  And, Ed, hope to have you back soon with a
new e-mail.

Thanks, all!
