[Moon] 1296 SSB Funtest

[Gedas]

I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to e-mail me and provided 
me with a much better idea of what I am up against.  I have replied to 
each individual but you may not have received my e-mail thank you 
because my ISP only seems to get my mail to about 70% of the people.

Anyway, big thank you to Andreas, my best Lithuanian EME friend Ed, Al, 
Rick, and Nando in case you did not get mail from me.  I know with you 
Ed my mail never makes it which is unfortunate since so many times I 
want to say hello and make a brief comment to you.  73 all es TU agn.
