[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Bugs? (or features?)

[Pride Of Lions Nine Arts (LLC)]

Good Morning Brian.

Sorry if I was too cranky-sounding last night in the e-mail.  I had  
the Worst. Day. Evar!!!11!!1 and I typed that at the end of it all.   
So, all the snarkiness wasn't meant for you and your team of good- 
product-putting-out people.
K.
