Hi Ward,

Why not show your entire message from the ZCC echo, Ward?

You know, the part where you mentioned you'd told Scott you'd take over the
election and all details regarding it for Scott? Hmmmmmm?  Might that be what I
was "lashing out" over? (calling it that is rather dramatic, I think <smile>)
though I DID think it was quite preposterous for you to think that you, ZC2,
would, or should, represent all of the "ZCC".

Think again why perhaps no one responded to you in the ZCC echo.

Take care,
Janis
