Chris, what would you rather I have done? I explained in my message to the
list that I'd sent a note to the email address Bruce provided and it bounced.
Since I had no other way to get ahold of Bruce, other then to write to the
list, I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions. I don't know Bruce
personally, so did not have an alternative method of contacting him.

I'm a bit late coming to this thread, but remember, you gotta pay attention
to what Bruce said. in his original message, he said:
PLEASE E-MAIL ME PRIVATELY at jfw-admins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you
respond to the list telling me of your interest, you are automatically
disqualified.
Plus the e-mail me privately part was in all caps.
So it pays to pay attention. Anyways, I see by later messages that Bruce
found a new list owner so that's wonderful. Congrats to whoever grabs it.
