Who's in charge now

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	Some very interesting points, Bob - I had wondered about the legal
angle but you seem to dispell that nicely.

	That *sticker--thing* and the eradication of everything identifying
PRCo now seems to be taking on a psychotic bent!  The sticker and the
({[pat]}) gray are synonymous  --  and revolting!

	You must like to burn the *mudnight* oil!!
