[Mgs] Trans-ship me a gasket!

[Barrie Robinson]

Richard,

Me'thinks the USPO needs to give their staff a quick kick up the

minutes and that included me not filling in the forms in advance 
(what's in it, return address & such).  A friend who came in behind 
me teased me saying I was holding up the queue !!!
