yes, it did not make it to my system... i think that was about the time you

thanks for sending that along... i have actually been watching the CVS
reports and had not seen anything related which was kind of surprising to
me... i knew that if you had seen my message that something would have been
done unless you thought of me as another "phil" which i hope you
