[Scan-DC] Get set for Shuttle launch -- 259.7 MHz AM who is white meat

[Doug Kitchener]

?

Good question... I have no idea where that came from - it doesn't seem to have been in the earlier msgs from what I can determine.  WAs it in the subject line of the msg you received?  I'm using hotmail with Firefox, and hotmail being a Microsoft relative, it sometimes gets crabby if it's not used with Internet Explorer... could have been that...

Regards,

Po'k Chop
