This is a message I sent to the list earlier today. There was an error
message and I never got the message returned from the list so I sent it
again. If anyone got two copies of this message would you please email
me (mailto:cindy@ballreich.net) and let me know. Otherwise I'll assume
you only got one. I'm trying to figure out if there's a problem with the
mail system.

Thanks!

Cindy
your humble list admin
