Larry:
I for one do not like change much as a rule. However, I can tellyou that
this change has not been a problem. The messages have been informative and
directed. It seems the necessary info has been given and I haven't lost any
mail that I am aware of. I hope that you can feel more comfortable knowing
this. This is my opinion. Thanks to you, for the service that you have
provided to the rest of the world.
