We ask the List so we can know whether Gerry's had another serious attack of
the collywobbles or its just the Gerry/Gmail conflict rearing its ugly head
again.
If you don't care, read the subject line and hit 'Delete'. If you're
worried about your connection, click and read.
You can't please all of the people all of the time.
Oh, and Happy Easter one and all! :)
