Kirk: Please reply to this message, not the other one I sent, and please reply on-list in the future, using the 'reply-all' button rather than 'reply.' Otherwise the message just goes to me instead of to everyone, which is the default on this list. This copy of your e-mail is forwarded to the list, so use a 'reply-all' on it so everyone can see your reply. -Luke
