Sorry to have to resort to this, but, due to the myriad of automatic
e-mail advertising ("SPAMming") programs out there, I've been forced
to modify my "reply to" address. To reply to this message, you must
remove the .spamfree from the reply-to address. To those friends, and
folks
who are trying to contact me with info that I will likely be happy to
receive, I apologze for this inconvienence. To those out there, sending
all these annoying "junk mail" messages, I say "Oh well...."
