You come closer to understanding. The only reason I hoped she would release
it was the comments address Susan and many idiosyncrasies. It is all on me;
my missing the hold not in the submission and forgetting to have my email
address in it. Like I said, I am sick and probably should have help off
until I felt better and was paying better attention.
Oh, well...
