Jan Harde and group- I find it a little strange that these letters from
Jan Harde to Steve Sage keep arriving in my mailbox. The first letter Jan
sent was a little interesting, but #2, #3, ad nausium, in my feeble
opinion, should be sent directly to Steve. Unless the group is hot on the
issue, why send it to all? I have posted personal letter from or to others
on the list because I thought it was revelant. This is or isn't depending
on one's point of view. Any one else have input on this topic?
Kind Regards-Chris in Trinidad
