Ummm, My name is Bob Anderson, but for some reason I think there must be
another Bob Anderson because I don't know you and am not familiar whith
what your talking about.  I'm listed on this board (R squared) as "Bob
Anderson from the Satlelite of love"  perhaps the person you leaving
messages to is listed as being from somewhere else?   Or maybe theres
some king of system error?   Let me know and keep in touch as I am
looking for computer systems and it sounds like you build them or
something...?  sorry.
