Angel and All: I want to thank Angel for his offer and remind everyone that what happens on this list is always from the grace and generosity of others. If people would like to funnel questions to me and I will gladly see if I can build a hack list for Angel. I know some of the things I want and I hope this message catches your eye and there would be some historical questions to be answered for you. Please use my hotmail address as ALL CR mail goes to this Yahoo account. I have over 20,000 unread messages at this address. No you understand. REPLY TO:

The next few weeks would be a good time for me to go. Maybe all you guys that want to have a particular GRANDIS question answered can funnel them to Bruce Thomson, and Bruce can send me one set of questions that I can ask GRANDIS. The time spent will be much more productive in that way.
