Erik and all --
Boy, Erik did you miss your calling!!!! You should have been a diplomat.
Hopefully you will get a quick answer back from Mary, and she will exit
gracefully through the large hold you made for her.
I don't think we should have to give Dave anything for his back issues in
return for AGA offering 1 year memberships to his unexpried memberships, and
to getting his entire mailing list. His alternative is to send those folks
multiple copies, which is only going to piss them off and waste the PAMs. I
think thatis the offer we should go to him with.
