Fw: [ATM] Wrong Richard- I stay wooden -headed!

Richard,

I see that in my reply to you, Richard, I thought I was replying to another
Richard- RICHARD SCHWARTZ! I guess I just get a knee jerk reaction when I
get a message from this former ATM list member. Does anyone know iof Richard
Schwartz, AKA "Flying Wing Man" is still a member of this list? He used to
contribute so much useful (and irreverent) stuff. If he is no longer a
member, do you guys miss him, and want to invite him back?

Dave
(sorry, Richard, to confuse you with the Ray Gun Man)
