Re: throw away, now Rich Little

Dan, my goodness, you're magical.  I have looked for years under the wrong
name - it should be obvious tany L&H fan why I was looking for "Fine".

At least having the correct name I may yet find it, if for no other reason
than to prove to people I wasn't imagining it.  Thanks!
