Re: [Killietalk] Cool Down!

OK, see, there it is, Erny!  Guess it was there all the time and you just
didn't get it.  Now you know - just have to chair the committee and you will
get the information.  Guess if the entire membership wants the information,
they will each have to chair a committee!!!  Looks like a lot of committees,
but then, they will all be volunteers, so it won't cost much.  Which chair
job do you want?  (Yep, think you hit it Erny - He did miss the point!!!)
