You are of course right, Mark. I was only pulling Tom's leg. Next plan
was to offer him a very big lot of Olympus equipment, worth about
$7,000 and not to be split. Price so high because it contains three of
those caps on 'good user' silver nose lenses. Sale to be concluded
before April 1, 2001.... I am sure that he would have bought it if you
hadn't interfered ;-)
