You don't need to apologize.  I was just trying to make a point that didn't
seem to be getting through.  I guess I was confused because the message I
responded to was addressed to the SC, not to Diana.  That plus the fact
that what you were asking Diana to do had nothing to do with what Dorothy
and I have been doing.  You were, I believe, asking Diana if she would
handle mail order sales, something that I have not done at all, and Dorothy
has only done one rare ocassions.

That's too bad.

Bob, I don't think you need to worry so much about irritating people.  But
you do need to check more closely to see if what you write is what you
meant to say.  If you go back and look at the post I responed to,  it says
none of what you just said above.  It only talks about us "giving up" a
function that at least I never had.  If I sounded frustrated, (note, I say
frustrated, not irritated) it is because It didn't seem to _me_ that you
understood that.

Which  leaves us back where we started, and is the exact reason they've
never been advertised, as Dorothy doesn't want to have to mail them to
people regularly, and we haven't found anyone else to do the job.  Maybe we
need Mary to post some "help wanted" notices in TAG.

Not at all!  This is sometimes (sometimes often) a difficult medium in
which to conduct business.  If I corrected you, it's only that I truly
didn't think that you were getting what I was saying due to the wording of
your response.  I know we are all trying to do our best for AGA, otherwise
we wouldn't be here.
