Accidental message

[Corey Telfer]

Sorry everybody,

     That last message was intended for Bob, not the whole list.  I
responded to the message that he accidentally sent to everybody...  If
anybody has comments about my ideas however, I wouldn't mind if you
responded directly to me - it's always good to get feedback.

Corey.
