[GreenKeys] Newbie to the group

[Lee Spenadel]

Sorry for the duplicate message earlier.  What I think happened is that I
originally sent out the message, but from the wrong email account (not
subscribed to the group) and it went into a queue for the moderator to
release.  I had sent out a dupe thinking that the first one would be
deleted, but must have been released, hence the dupe.

Thanks
Lee

Lee you might let the greenkeys grope know were you are located so if a TTY
comes up near by they would let you know.
