[thelist] Dear fellows: Be carefull in your job, very carefull

[Norman Bunn]

This reminds us all of the importance of testing our sites.  All the 
links, mailto's, navigation, on many browsers and OSs, etc.  In this 
case, a simple email with a read receipt would have be adequate to check 
this. Test, test and test, and then let someone else test, test, and test.

Been there, done that! Learned from it!

Norman
