Case Study...

[Jerry Daniels]

Gang,

It looks like I responded to an email from Chipp, but I didn't realize that
it included the entire Revolution community!

The "interesting news" would probably not be very interesting to anyone but
Chipp and I as it involved a proposed Revolution project that we are in the
process of winning.

Sorry to disappoint!

Best,

Jerry
