Sorry Mark, I have to disagree with you and the others who have already
responded. While I do sympathize with Fred and wish there was something
that we could do to help him out, wasting bandwidth and the internet itself
in such a frivolous way flys in the face of the etiquette of this fabulous
resource we have at our disposal. A local visit, and other possible
solutions might help Fred get his money or his goods, but wasting this
resource that MJB has provided for us in such a manner is not the way to go
about it...IMHO :-) No flame intended, just another opinion :-)
