entirely and

than the

|Dead on. You're quite a thinker. Your parents must be very proud.
|
|As of 8/15/98, at Bob's request, the Sermons archive has been taken

an

should,
|I suppose, send our questions to Shawn Zenor and Michele Putman and
Diana
|Krebs.
|
|What I got by way of explanation is here:

|
|No I am not sending anybody a copy of the archive so don't ask me.
