John, First...I did not initiate the email problem, I think that it was Rob.
And I I see that you sent it pmail and gerry, but I got it once with both
addresses attached via Gmail. I'm not really complaining, but I NEVER see my
post until someone answers it. Since I am in the listserv, you would think
that any msg posted to the list would be copied to the list members,
INCLUDING the poster. I can find my post in the archive, but I do not get a
copy of it via Gmail from the List. I am responding to you via pmail and
list, so YOU should get it twice(?). Anyway, back to the fuel lines. See
ya, Michael.
