[EVA] Dear Butch Cassidy

[ctpalin]

Im sorry that you don't like the material available on my website. Im
pleased to hear your suggestions but I would be pleased if you would not
send it through the whole EVA Group. This group is for eva info and sending
on my site don't strike me as fitting into this category. Thank you, also
congratulations on a good site of your own.
