If that is really the beginning and the end, It all got here.  I don't ever
recall having a problem with long messages, although I sometimes wish some
of the "windy" ones in my own echos _would_ get lost or
truncated.   :-)

Much thanks for the text, reading will take some time, and I expect to have
no further questions on this matter!   :-)

      Thanks, M.
