Hi Don and all,
I have a secondary TU macro that sends the name of the op so that I can choose
to send it or not (normally not). I don't mind waisting my time but I sure hate
waisting the other op's milliseconds...just in case. Say if on the sunday you
send me 599 068 068 I'll definitely say hello!
BTW I paid the 3 liner guy to try and slow you down a bit but my stategy was
obviously unsuccessfull :) Nice job!
73,
Fabi va2up
