[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear!
you just confort my point: a lot of good will, non coordinated with the 
Chair (or ther Directors in the Danny/Derek proposition) would result in a 
lot of mails ... Sorry I forgot all the mails to repeat part of the 
preceding mails. :-)
Have agood mrning you on the other side of the world!
Jefsey

PS. I do not why there would be any crackpot scheme what ever it may mean 
because I say you tried in the best you could a silly scheme about these 
now forgotten articial sub-lists.  :-)
