Hi,
My reply to Phil was not intended to be posted to the list; I
accidentally sent it there by mistake. It was intended strictly
for Phil.
Fernando and anyone else interested: I am not trying to imply any-
thing or accuse anyone of impropriety. If I see something which
does not interest me on the list, I just ignore it. It was not
my intent to offend anyone.
