Oh, m' Gawd!  Sorry, sorry, sorry!  The mouse finger twitched at the wrong time 
as the pointer hovered betwixt possibilities.  I am most contrite, apologetic, 
and maybe a beer or two over the line.  Oops and double Oops!

To make a long story short, that was an e-mail meant for my still-working wife, 
with my Cap'n D take-away instructions.  Her cell phone broke over the weekend, 
and Cingular -- the bastards -- have* such crappy customer service that, 
instead of replacing it in the store, they have to Fed-Ex one to us.  That's 
not so bad, but then the damn thing, a piece of electronic crap worth, at most, 
realistically, $30, has to be signed for!  So I've been under house arrest all 
day waiting on the %#**&^($ thing.

And to think, I once had a package from B&H with an OM-4Ti, MD2, M15V NiCd 
pack, all worth close to $2000, left sitting by the door, just waiting till I 
got home to find it.

I would post a copy of the letter I'm writing, but I'm afraid it would offend 
at least half of the subscribers to this list.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Walt

*Notice the British usage.  Comes in handy when a cop-out is needed for 
confusing plural/singular conundrums.

Think I'll have another beer.  Or two.  Supper's going to be a while coming.

I shall post no more today.
