I am with AOL which I guess has something to do with Yahoo. Anyway I was 
getting a few [GNC] e-mails each day.?? Suddenly got a deluge covering 
several days.?? Somehow some must have been getting through, but most 
weren't.?? Now I guess I know why.?? Appreciate all the work of the GNC 
crew.?? Mike
