Whoa List,
I had no idea Xmas instead of Christmas would be more important a subject
than the magic that Frank can do with Spridgets. Wow you can really see who

Xmas as offensive. No offence intended here just using abbreviations due
to my hunt & peck technique. Now look at all the hunting & pecking I just
did.
Frank do you get Spridget parts under your tree for CHRISTMAS : )
