I think you are a very important person in my life, and in the lives of many people though. I am still interested, however, in the ad for Bell Atlantic Mobile, because them using a Santa photo that resembles you is so characteristic of the way I see the waveform/telecommunications groups playing games with the world...The santa has a big black Bell Atlantic Mobile banner over his forehead. It implies your support of their cellular systems I suppose, to me. The photograph is only the eyes, nose, glasses and beard of Santa, winking. And part of his cap. Looks like you in your photo online though. The caption is: "Free weekends. the best network. A $39 phone. this year, we've save the best 'til last. Free Weekend home airtime for one year!" Anyway, I just thought I would tell you about the ad. You are certainly not the Devil, dear sir, although I realise that identification with the same is a peer group option with some support everywhere this year. Best Wishes, Laurel You said: Laurel: Thanks for your note..... I am not Santa Clause..... I am not the Devil, either..... Somewhere in between, I guess.....
