West Vancouver in particular has been       investigating how to clean up any remaining ones like this, so people can stop       getting nasty surprises.              I figured I should add in this context, as your message was sitting around for       a couple of weeks now without further clarity.       --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux        * Origin: The Basement - basement.isurf.ca (1:153/141)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 105/81 106/201 124/5016 129/305 330 331 134/100 153/141       SEEN-BY: 153/757 6809 7715 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 6 226/17       SEEN-BY: 229/110 111 112 113 317 426 428 470 664 700 250/8 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/234 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 100       SEEN-BY: 770/340 772/210 220 230 2320/105 2452/250 3634/24       PATH: 153/141 757 280/464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
