color=#0000ff size=2>Welcome and apologies to Jonathan El-Bizri. My spam
filter malfunctioned or perhaps it was I who malfunctioned. All my
Exi-chat notices went into the spam bucket, so there was a lot of old stuff in
there, starting back middle of July when I went on vacation. I went in to
browse my spam bucket for the first time in a long while, found a bunch of stuff
in there that shouldn't have been, a long personal letter written to me by a
good friend back in April for instance. Oy. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
