IJMC - Ok, So Who's Confused Now?
All of you who have been confused by my past message or two, raise your
hand. I apologize about an oopsed email that I apparently did manage to
kill before my server sent it out...either that or it's hiding somewhere,
waiting to pounce upon the world and give everyone nuckle nuggies. I
suspect I got it. I just didn't think I did. Make sense? Well, if it did,
explain it to me. Hopefully I'll straighten out before the weekend's
over. Oh yeah, if you're American, have a great Fourth. If you're
Canadian, I hope you had a great Canadian Day. The rest of you, find
something to celebrate and do it well...I need to live vicariously
through the lives of others for a while... -dave
