following up a message from Leonard Erickson to JIM HOLSONBACK:

 -=> Quoting JIM HOLSONBACK to ROY J. TELLASON <=-

Hey Jim,  I never saw this post.

Also didn't see much of anything coming in here from around Friday evening
onwards for a couple of days.  And it's not just an interruption in the
flow,  as I'm seeing bunches of posts quoting stuff where I never saw the
original,  like this one.

 JH> Hello, Roy.

 LE>  
 JH> (Moan) - oh, that reminds me - I need to make an appointment for an
 JH> eye exam and to get some new specs.  I thoroughly dislike the
 JH> aftermath of having eyes dilated. I'd rather stay old and ugly.
 JH> [:-D.

 RJT> I gotta do that too...

 RJT> We just got Nancy new glasses.  My excuse for putting it off is that I
 RJT> have to pay for it and then get reimbursed later from work,  and so I'd
 RJT> need the money to use.  And having just spent a pile of funds on car
 RJT> repairs,  that's gonna take a little while.

 JH> Yuh, yuh, you hate rebates, and  ----------------- 

Went for two of them when I got that cd burner,  and one of them *STILL*
hasn't gotten here.

 JH> but my recommendation -- forget the money delay, and see to it, 
 JH> Roy. Heck, among your talents and abilities, what is more 
 JH> important than your eyesight?   I'm not currently on speaking 
 JH> terms with that Charles Angelich fellow, but from what I've seen 
 JH> in some of his recent postings, he currently has some eyesight 
 JH> problems, and I'm sure he would agree with me that you should go 
 JH> ahead and have an eye exam, and pay attention to the results.

Yeah,  I probably should.
