For closure.
It was me. I mailed this box to Phil. Burlington is where Novera HQ is
and that is where I happened to be at the time.
Phil now knows what is going on and has posted the appropriate messages
to lugnet.market.jambalaya. I have pointed followups there.
If you want in on this or any other Jambalaya box now started, post a
message as a direct followup to the append that announced it's
availabilty, copy Mookie and watch her website to see where you are in
the ordering list.
(all starter messages have something like "xxx box #n" in their subject
and all but one as of this writing have been started by me.)
