   	It seems to have come thru here ok but I had to restart Thunderbird   
   after choosing UTF-8.   
      
   	Bob should be shown with a Japanese style pipe I think   
   and maybe a court cap or Korean style top hat open at the top   
   to let his enlightenment spread to the world.   
      
   	Hail Eris!  All hail Discordia!   
   	Just so you don't think I am a Bob fanatic.
