    Thanks for all the great work, Jamie! Greatly appreciated by all, believe
    me!

    I've noticed that you've never cashed my $3.50 check, which should have
    arrived via FedEx months and months ago. (No kidding!) Didja receive it?

    And yes, my magazine *did* arrive.

    Happy holidays and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jamie!
