Re: [ATM] First mail to atm list

Ummm... Good responses so far but I have not heard
back from Mahmood yet. I'm going to start another
thread which we can "sign up" for providing things for
a care package for Mahmood. If you have anything to
contribute, go ahead and sign up with what you can
spare and when we hear back from Mahmood we can make
arrangements to get it to me for packing into a single
package for him.

Begging the list owners indulgence here... look for
"Care Package Signup" and just add your name and
contribution for now.
