Warnings!!

[Ken Sibley]

Nandish,

This is a series of messages from several months ago on the list (see
below).  Things may have changed, but it does not sound like it from 
your message.  Check the list archive as there were several other 
messages at the same time on this subject.

Good Luck,
Ken Sibley

PS.  If you know a Kelly Johnson working there at the Space Center
     have her send me a message (female - age ~27).
