Hi Chris & All, Mar 29, 2007
I wrote letters in this vein untill I was blue in the face, and
another one last evening as it happens, without even a hint that any
message was getting through.
On the bright side, the BSLB will soon be contained by being almost
entirely surrounded by water; Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic, leading to a
'Job Done' termination and freeing the funds for some other BS project.
Yours truly, Dave Webster, Kentville
