Steve:

How about if I go "off list" with you on this?

I think I have your private e-mail address here.

If you don't hear from me real soon, please send me an e-mail at
[log in to unmask], and I'll get your private address that way.

Thanks to all on the list for putting up with this "off topic" thread.
Although, as I said last night, I guess it's not really "off topic", since I
do a lot of ham-related embossing too, since I'm ec-ro for my county, and
since I do a lot of training which requires me to have a Braille set of
notes handy.
