As Mike Klinke and I had already been discussing, I WAS NOT aware that
this was being sent to the entire list.  I've had these warning sent to
my email for months and not had this problem.  Therefore I DON'T feel it
necessary to spam the list and even didn't know I was inundating the
list.  That being said.  I have taken measures to prevent this from
happening again.  Flames are appreciated but only when I'm aware that I
screwed up.
