[Vision2020] Pre-Response to Phil Nisbet

[Janesta Carcich]

Hi everyone,

Am I once again having problems with e-mail? Several
of the posts I read have one or two words on every
other sentance. Donavans was one loooooooong sentance.

Nick, I apologise coming into your post with this, but
it is an example.

Thanks for anyone's input to me privately on this
matter, and how to fix it. It is quite annoying.
