more oddities. Once the resolved messy bits are cleaned up, Ariel and/or Julie will re-send the link to you to put it at the top of your inbox. It will then be absolutely crucial that you take some time with a good, strong cup of tea, coffee, or other fortifying
beverage of choice to read this one as carefully as possible. <o:p></o:p></p>
