Dear Friend,

I took the pains to write you a long Answer; but when I went looking for it, I could not find it. Perhaps I never hit the "Submit Answer" button. However, I did print it out before I left the page, but I don't feel like typing it all again at the present time. I will wait a while and see if my original Answer does not appear; and, if not, my plan is to retype and re-submit my Answer

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
