News-Bits NOTICE:

We sincerely apologize for the multiple copies you received
of the latest News-Bits release due to a computer glitch.
It's never our intention to dispatch more than one copy of
our newsletter at a time.


After the original text was completed and dropped into a
specially designed "dispatch form," the SEND button was
hit.

A message-box appeared on the monitor stating that for
various reasons, the message was not acceptable and/or
could not be sent.

As there is no immediate way to see whether the email
actually "worked," I waited a few minutes and tried
again.

Again, the same message appeared.

On the third try, the message was accepted and sent.

To my surprise, I received three copies, as did you.

======== ======== =========

As the system is set up, we cannot send two different
News-Bits releases within the same clock day---so if
you ever receive multiple copies of our newsletter minutes
apart, realize that a computer glitch occurred.
Accordingly, delete all but one, as all will be the same.

Those who have been with us for a long time might recall
that three or four years ago, six copies of the same
message were received one after the other. It hasn't
happened since then.

Again, we apologize for the incident.
