I agree with Mr. Hansen abou the email address matter.  It's not
extremely difficult to BCC the addresses.  Thanks for the information
about the Rides-free program, but someone please do something about all
these addresses.  The list of addresses is at most times longer than the
message itself.  It is very time-consuming.
Thanks,
Araceli
