[C320-list] an apology... Let it be known

[Adam Weiner]

Okay, let's get this straight.  You would have to spend $1500 (U.S.$)
for airfare for a dinner and sail on the Second Best Bay in the World
(of course) Sydney is first best.  For that much money in airfare I will
pick you up at the airport and you could stay at my house or on the
boat.

Bruce, I hope you won't get upset, but every time I see an e-mail from
you I think of the Monty Python sketch "The Bruces."

Warmest No Worries Regards,

Adam

Hey Adam
I like that ... the "List" will all get upset with you and 
the price we pay is a Sail on-the-Bay and a Gourmet Meal ... 
that would be hard to handle!
Let it be known that I am working on getting upset ;)
