Re: Digest Number 4790-- FOR TONI

July 6, 2005

Toni,

My apologies. It is easy to get the posts mixed up when you read so

many! I did not mean to offend you in any way. I just wanted

people to know there are a few good ones. Again, so sorry. I had

read about ten posts and must have clicked yours instead of the one

I wanted to respond to. Hopefully, it was seen by the right

person. There sure has been a lot of talk about it.

Again, my apologies!
