Re: Passover attachment

[Lionel Mrocki <amrocks...>]

Shirona, 

If you send me the file (as an attachment) I will put it up on the web and let
the list know where it can be accessed from.

NB, I can't make this a general offer for all "everyone will want this"
attachment.  This is a once in a life-time opportunity.
