[Rhodes22-list] Chris Cowie - to Ed

[elle]

Ed,

You used to pop right in to new postings with requests for info about the poster...Did you lose that email? We've had several new posters lately...Don't we want to know who's turning tail before they leave ? (just joking...)

It would be nice for folks to begin introducing themselves again...w/a bit of a gentle prodding....after all, you don't just walk up to someone's door & ask for something w/o a bit of an intro.....

So maybe it's time to resurrect that time honored tradition..;^)  

elle

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.

 1992 Rhodes 22   Recyc '06  "WaterMusic"   (Lady in Red)
