Sorry, you're Steve, the guy with the good suggestions
was someone else who I think was pug something. I also
just noticed the metion at the end of your post about
Hurricane Katrina donations; and even though I've
lived
in St.Louis for the past 4 yrs., I'm from New Orleans,
a big Peugeot town, and just wanted to tell you all
how much we appreciate your kindness and generosity.
It's
been one of the most depressing things in my entire
life, and has made me realize that I'd rather lose all
of my own favorite possessions than to see those
beautiful old homes and city destroyed. Thanks again.
