Hello Dave

I am curious about a post I saw and perhaps you can enlighten me. I looked at a
post and saw what looked like Tony Hedlund responding to a "To Mel..." and I
believe he stated that he agreed with "Dr. Hyatt's" quote saying Dr.Hyatt is
correct - of course we now know it was a quote written by Prakash Das.However, I
seem to remember you responding to this with some comment but I can't find what
Mr. Hedlund said or what you said in response. Do you recall this situation?

Mel
