Above is portion of post from Angela and post of mine from December '99. I asked question about procedure but no listers replied. Maybe no one had an answer (but since so few of my posts elicit responses/comments maybe nobody reads what I send in). In any event, I'll try again. Was announcement earlier this week calling for amnesty result of above process? Michael Hoover
