[KCDXC] newsletter

Wed, 20 Nov 2002 23:08:19 -0800 (PST)

Mike,
Thank you very much for the exelent job you are doing
with newsletter. I just requested from Rick to put me
on 'No mail' list. 
 One thing-would be nice to receive notification with
link when the new one is out.
 Thank you again. Alex KU1CW
