Dear wendy,

thank you for replying to my questions.

everyone is wondering why I repeated my message so

many times.The internet was very slow at that time

and the message was not getting sent.so I went on

clicking the send button and the message got sent

that many times.I had no intention of announcing my

grand presence on this list.However if it has made me

famous,I am certainly happy.

yours truly,

vivek.
