Actually, I've heard from several people and so I have really taken it to
heart.
I don't recall this ever happening before. I'm trying to think if any of
these that did email me privately were IFB and I don't know. I think I did
get one from a motel as he was traveling but then, maybe he posted to the
whole list too.
Anyway, I appreciate you guys--all of you!
