         Thanks to Messrs. Yates and Finster, as they state my intentions 
far better than I did. Mr. Yates is most kind in his praise for my writing 
style, but I think I just put the lie to his compliments.;-)
         My apologies to everyone everywhere (particularly to Mr. Kelley) 
for inadvertantly doing that which I sought to prevent.
         I'm going back to writing games now, and see if that works out any 
better.

Deo Vindice,
Mr. Christopher L. McGlothlin, M.Ed.
