NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

501(c)3 revoked in process of retroactive reinstatement.

Subject: Our apologies...

Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your potted pork shoulder and ham
meat product...

The Janitors wish to apologize for the SPAM issue that escaped us 16
August - we've "rewritten history" and have eliminated that "all SPAM,
all the time" issue from the archives and rolled the issue number
back; however, that does not eliminate that fact that a heaping
helping of potted pork shoulder and ham meat product made it to your
inbox (or not...) via the auspices of the HBD. A command to impede
this incursion was sent to the server, but, for some reason I have yet
to diagnose, the server ignored it, and I neglected to look for the
acknowledgement that the command was received.

I will dig into the code to determine the why and, hopefully, a fix.
In the meantime, please accept our apologies for the error.

See ya!
Pat Babcock
HBD Chief of Janitorial Services
