[AZ-Observing] Re: LapTop

Norm (Rubenstein),
Thank you for your personal message on this issue. I have been trying to 
reply to you personally but it keeps getting blocked and returned. I 
thought it might be the wording in the subject line or something in the 
body and so I tried again completely redoing it as a separate message 
(not as a reply) but it still got blocked. I had corresponded with you 
earlier regarding your TMB. It got through and so I cannot figure out 
what the problem could be now.
