<VV> Re: Thanks and appreciation

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Larry,

I never thought that Garth's thank you's were anything but genuine.  It is a 
thoughtful gesture on his part and one or two were fine.  But, as I had told 
him privately, it was not something I was looking for (not a motivator for 
me at least) when attempting to give guidance to a fellow Vair owner on a 
problem.

He has since stopped (a couple of weeks ago) sending them to me at my 
request and I appreciate that.  I guess I feel like I don't need to be 
thanked for every answer as it just adds to the volume going through this 
computer.

So, I thank Garth for the thoughtfulness he has displayed in these messages 
and I further thank him for remembering that I don't really need to receive 
them.
