Some of you will have already seen this, and I apologize in advance.
I also apologize for sending an unsolicited mailing, but you have
expressed some interested in VM.  I will probably send 1 or 2 more
mailings out to this list.  I have the list setup so that only I can
mail to it to try and keep the junk down to a minimum.  If that is still
too much, drop me a line, and I will immediately remove you from the list.
