I know that I was invited by you in private to come dive with you.So I know 
this email is from you and not hoax.I also have noticed a different tone in 
your last few posts.
I think that the list is finding all this a bit strange as I am.You have 
not been watching too many reruns of "Scrooge" and have gotten the 
Christmas spirit have you?;) just joking!

I sent out an email to the ones that are using some of your methods that 
dive with me, they are all willing to come. I will also come and listen to 
what you can tell us, as well as show us. We must just agree on when.
