Oh, believe me, I have seen worse too. It just aggravates me how
gmail, etc allow themselves to be mass polluters. It sucks. I have
added maxine back to my welcome posters, I'll add Little and Dams,
too. With any luck I'll catch anyone else when people reply to them
and I notice I didn't see their post.

Thanks.
