[Ads-l] I cannot phantom...

[George Thompson]

Stephen's post seems incomplete, to me, but "phantom" for "fathom" is an
appealing thought.
How long will "phantom" keep its "ph"?.  Can I start a pool?

I will add "As you might expect, my interest was *peaked* when I saw that
organizations could apply for up to $20,000 in funding for related
activities."
