- Hi,
-
- I am not the orginal poster BUT:
- I had to respond to Once and for all. I had a good laugh. I been reading
- this group for 6 months, I was glad to see this question answered a long time
- ago. And have seen the question asked over and over again. So why laugh,
- I still have not gotten the book despite best intentions and even lost
- the answer a couple of times. So it aint over even when it is over.
- This is NOT "once and for all". Sorry about that chief. Hope
- I did not depress you to badly. The never ending question.
-
- Thanks to FAQ, I know the answer is there if I every get off my duff to
- get the book.
-
- Hi, I had to be a pain here, that is write something says nothing.
- SHA is better than RA!!!!!! Add a sentence here to note I am friendly.
