>Thank you for your seasons greetings.I appreciate the thought. However, in
view of the response from Phyllis Rubenfield I must point out that there are
people who don't have holidays because their work continues 24 hours/day
365/66 days of the year. The following was sent to me over the net this week
perhaps you could use it next year and keep everyone happy.

>Please accept with no obligaton,implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive,
gender neutral, celebration of the summer solstice holiday, practised within
the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or
secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all.

>And a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted new
calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this country
great, ( not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any
other country or is the only country in the southern hemisphere), and
without regard to the race, sex, creed, colour, age, physical ability,
intellectual capacity,religious faith, location, choice of computer
platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.
