Yikes! FALSE RUMOR!! Stop it! Help me. Somebody make it go away!  :-)

I do not, repeat DO NOT, have an electronic version of the hybridizers
listed in the back of the AIS Bulletin.

I believe this vicious rumor got started because people know that I am
doing the graphic design and layout for the new Bulletin (starting with the
July issue), and somebody assumed that if the classified section in the
back of the Bulletin was on my computer, I could simple download it to
whoever wanted it. WRONG.
a.)  While I am doing the layup for the _rest_ of the Bulletin, the
classified section is still being done the old paper cut and paste method
by the advertising editor. So I don't have it on my computer at all.
b.)  Eventually, I expect that I will have it on my computer, but much of
it will be TIFF files, EPS files, or some other graphics files--not text
files. So I may not easily be able to make a downloadable list even then.

Sorry to disappoint.
