	Oh yeah, I did do that didn't I.

	All right, but here's where we hit a bit of a snag. I'm moving
in a
couple of weeks and I won't be able to accept mail there for a bit. Not
until after Sept. 5th as a matter of fact. But if that's all right
here's
the adress:

	Box 3466
	610 Beacon Street
	Boston, MA 02215

	Sensible? Sorry, the scanners I've access to can only do silly
resolutions.

	Okay, first let me just admit that I'm not exactly an expert on
this
stuff, but I ought to be able to turn out what has been requested.

	Boy I hope so too.

	Last time I tried MIME encoding I got zinc oxide all over the
keyboard. Okay, I'll shut up now.

	But sure, yeah, sounds okay to me.
