Matt, I'll do this for Spaf. (If you don't object, Gene?)

Mr. Crawford, do you have *any* vague notion of how much mail this man
gets?  I was lucky enough to work with Spaf a little bit several years
ago, while trying to get a news feed for St. Pete. JC, as well as
Lindsay Cleveland (anybody remember him?), and Bob Kindleberger.  I
probably spent half an hour on the phone with him, and he helped
enormously in getting things rolling.  But do *I* expect him to
remember me?

Come on, Matt, the guy's mailbox is probably as big as your kernel.
Give him a break.  Or maybe, if you *really* want to take on some of
this load yourself, you could get Rick Adams to hire you....?
Well, it was just a thought.
