[Rhodes22-list] icebox

[Peter Thorn]

Bill and Will,

Very sorry -- no intention to be "tacky" as you say.  I was surprised, as
Luis was, that the apparent first responder (Luis) was disqualified and the
apparent 3rd was awarded without additional explanation.  Who knew otherwise
(until Bill explained)?

Yes, I agree Will does indeed have a generous spirit.   Congratulations to
you all!

PT
