[stylist] Next nFB Telephone Meeting 5 days away

Wed Feb 18 19:22:06 UTC 2009

Jim:

I realized that when I later read Robert's message asking for topics.  But I
decided to leave my answer in anyway, and besides I won't be calling on the
conference call, as I'm booked all Sundays.  So consider it my tiny
contribution to the discussion.
