[MFHanson@aol.com: own a piece of the rex]



One of our subscribers just forwarded a message to me for "approval".
To me the message seems reasonably appropriate for the list, so I'm
forwarding it below.  If you disagree with my decision, please feel
free to complain to me.  If you agree, feel free to post similar calls
for "unusual" donations.
