July 8th, 2002

I just learned that my EMAIL ME link/form has not been working for about 3-4 months! There is no telling HOW MANY of you emailed me using that form and I NEVER GOT IT! I am crushed. The Tough Question form has been working okay (I have been getting those), and the Belief Survey has been working (I have been getting those), but not the "Email ME" form…NO WONDER my email dropped by vast amounts over the past few months--maybe it wasn’t ALL due to everybody forgetting/leaving me (wounded smile…chuckle)! Sorry, Sorry, Sorry (mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, mea muy grande grosser obese-ly culpa).

I just fixed it, and so it works now…if you sent something in during this time, PLEASE resend it, if appropriate.
