dont know how to post to this list but I wanted to ask???

[Ruth Jean Clark]

Hi Saskia,

Could you please respond to me about this to my personal address.  We just
got a request yesterday from a colleague in Cambodia asking for some
prosthetic assistance for a lower extremity amputee and we would be pleased
to speak with you about this.  Unfortunately I can not get your personal
address from the header of the message to the list.

Also, I frequently get postings of ongoing threads, and have seemingly
missed many messages.  Does any one else have this problem of missing
postings?

Ruth it is the hardware for bka.....the sockets of these although still
attached probably wouldnt be any good for anyone else...but heck the
hardware is worth a mint...so if anyone knows anyone let me know...and I
have emailed the person who was suggested twice already..never hearing back
from him.
