Jim--

Thanks for the interesting story on the HRO-600. I'm a fellow PremiumRx and 
Boatanchor lister, HRO-500 owner, and constant quester after a '600.

It was a pleasure, but not a surprise, to find you also a member of the 
PremiumRx and Boatanchor lists. Seeing your post this a.m. was a stunning 
coincidence, as over the w/e I had composed a lengthy email to you, in your 
day-job capacity, having nothing whatever to do with list matters. I'm 
responding to your post in order to alert you to my message's probable 
arrival later this week (after some considered reflection on its contents) 
in the hope that it won't get thrown out with the trash that you must get in 
volume!
