Re: White list concerns


Mike and others,

May I remind you that this issue has been discussed for at least the 
last two years and probably longer, so I don't see that it has 
anything to do with "lame duck presidents."  We have discussed this 
topic ad nauseum.  I agree with your suggestions but if no one has 
anything more concrete to add, can we let it go and move on?
