[Ron Frazier]

Michael,

Your posts always enlighten me and make me think.  I like that.  It will
take me a little while to review your note and reply to parts of it.
I'll also talk about the cloning procedure I used.  May not get to it
today, but I will get to it.  Thanks for the info.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
