Mr. and Mrs. Milner,

I've been sitting on this post for a week trying to decide if I wanted
to send 15 dollars for this.  And I've decided to go for it!  I'm just
too intrigued to let this go!  My partner and I have to see it.  So if
you could send my your mailing address or something I could send the
check to, I will try to get it out to you soon.  My private e-mail is
slaveof1@...

Thanks,

Kevin
