Ronald,

I don't know how long you have been on this list, but there are people on
this list and in the world at large who have written similar requests not at
all facetiously, who do feel it is other people's responsibility to do the
work for them. So whether you are being facetious or not is not a forgone
conclusion. And frankly I'm not here to be anyone's saint.

Cheers and I hope you do the right thing--not for my sake, but for the sake
of the planet.
