Have a safe trip.  I thought I knew how to uns*bscribe, but when I came
back two weeks later there were 1028 new messages for me.  All this
before Fort Know.

| OK, OK.  A typo that will live in infamy.  We're off to someplace in
| Kentucky (I forget where) in an hour or so.  Don't knox how to
uns*bscribe,
| so when I get back I'm going to delete all messages.  Maybe this will
have
| died down by then.
| Your humble screwup,
| John
