[I'm ALL Right!]

Great job! Wish I could say "let us know what the reply is"...but we know a reply will only come if h*ll freezes over.

Here is Byrd's response via e-mail, received this morning. I did not receive it right away, but 6 1/2 hours after the message was sent, which leads me to believe it is not an auto-responder (?), but a cut & paste reply.

I am noticing that several of my e-mails to Dems respond this way also: "Please resend your message to me on my website." As in, "I didn't, and won't acknowledge you at this time."
