On the other hand, if gratis materials do not appear regularly, we have no compunction about withdrawing.

This is our practice which allows us to know all volumes may not be complete. Rather than waste time trying to procure missing issues, we are aware of non-claim item.

Wescott" <wescott@LYCO.LYCOMING.EDU> Subject: Re: Gifts (Donna Sue Yanney) Hi Donna! I can't believe that a note that only you or other techs will see, has to be 'professional' what ever that might be. It says exactly what anyone needs to know in plain English. I feel sorry that you have such a small-minded boss! I'm glad I work where I do when I read some of the stories on this list.
