I've mentioned your predicament to the Yahoo SCO message board, and
some have asked to see the letter.  Would you mind if I showed it (I
won't if you'd prefer I don't) Also, if you prefer, I can mirror it on
my server and post that link so as to not chew up your bandwidth.

Also, the same request goes for your response.

Thanks,

Adam Ruth
