Because I didn't know where to send it so it wouldn't get lost. But now that Michael Banck told me where to send it, I'll send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Ken -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
