Replying to LO28881 --

Hello Rick,

Title of messages should have been "Re:activity versus cre:ativity" ;-)

and:

last sentence hould have been "... and in the end our leaders will follow"

Thank you for your facilitation - i'll be off for vacation for about four
weeks.

Jan

"Re:" in the subject line to clearn up our msgs... Sorry it caught yours.
