Whoops I made a huge blunder !!!!

In no way did I mean to send this to the list !!!

I use thunderbird mail program for both my email and monitoring the list 
and I accidently sent to that list rather than a particular person who 
agreed to help me with this.

So please feel free to ignore this post - Sorry to the list.

PS - I suppose it could have only been worse had it been meant for some 
internet girlfriend or something.
