apology to the list

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123]

Very strange.  When I started my reply to this message, Pine wanted to 
send two copies also.  Must be something in the headers.  I agree with 
you, Chuck as well as Brian.  But I've just gotta ask.  Do we have to have 
the ASCII art that recently started appearing at the bottom of your 
messages?  What's it supposed to represent?



          73.
          Bill
