An EXCELLENT idea. Does anyone have the host's address??? He is not the
one with the shop, I know... correct me if I'm wrong, but he has been
quite a nice guy. Everyone has limits, tho... the host deserves
recompense, just as Bob deserves our support.

Please, anyone on the list who has the address, please post it, or
send to me directly? Thanx a 10**6.
