[This is the third @#$%^&*( time I have tried to submit this post. My
company's email servers are undergoing reconfiguration, and I have had to
change my email address. I am submitting this -- *I hope* -- from the old
address that this Listserver knows me by. If this EVER gets through, I will
then change my subscription address to Mark.Mandel at lhsl.com -- that's
Mark<dot>Mandel<at>LHSH<dot>COM . That is getting through to me these days,
most of the time.

Sorry for the rant. I'm FRUSTRATED with this.]
