Hi, Daryl!  Recently you wrote in a message to ARDITH HINTON:   
      
   AH>  I am glad to report, however, that the message you posted   
   AH>  to "All" on January 15th has finally made its way to   
   AH>  Vancouver....  ;-)   
      
   DS>  That's like the joke about the carrier pigeon who took   
   DS>  weeks to deliver a piece of mail. When confronted by the   
   DS>  handler at the destination to explain the delay, the bird   
   DS>  replied "It was such a nice day, that I decided to walk".    
      
      
            Yeah, I figure it might easily take about that long to walk from   
   where you are to where I am... [chuckle].   
      
            Ah, well.  Only twenty years ago it took two days to get Fidomail   
   from a suburb we could drive to in an hour.  We could use a bridge whereas the   
   phone company rate structure made it cheaper to send messages via Oregon, in   
   the USA. I remember as a child opening Christmas gifts from the UK at   
   Easter... and I've heard stories about snail mail which took even longer 'way   
   back when.   
      
            Better late than never, I say!  I do appreciate your retyping all   
   this stuff meanwhile, though, because I can take longer to think on our   
   system.  :-)
