Listers
The message below says it all. This lady is in Texas and clearly has
a problem. No more than 90 minutes elapsed between her sending this
message and me receiving it - and I've forwarded it direct to the
list. If anyone has some suggestions, its obviously better all round
for them to contact her direct rather than come back to me. It's
21.00 in the UK right now.
I do not have ICQ access (whatever that is) but she does and her
number is 20747587. Will this speed things up?
Thanks in anticipation
Jonmac
