Wayne Chirnside either, as i am about to read a message from him in this echo 
as well, which i hope is as pleasant to read as this message has been, so far, 
I Also like Tom Walker, Even if he is a Devout Republican.

I appreciate all mail i receive, it is the contents of some of these messages 
that i do not appreciate.
