[Am-info] Gates MUST be smokin dope again!!

[Gene Gaines]

All,

Thanks so much to those of you who sent comments, and who
continued to send postings like the below to the list.

I'm sorry to be dumping on Fred and don't mean to make him
feel bad.

So, if it is OK to all, I will ask Fred to throttle down
his postings, or perhaps just be quiet altogether until
after the election.  Then we'll see what direction we
want to go in, and perhaps figure a mode that can be good
for Fred and good for all.

Thanks again.

Gene
