I hope everyone has seen my apology. I did not originate this,but many
messages are going out looking as if I had done so. Is there any way to
recall, or cancel this after one has fallen for it? Would it help if I
were to unsubscribe the Bee L for a while?? Where would messsages go if the
addressee were no longer there?? Anyone who knows how to deal with this,
please write me at my inbox
