  4. Hey I am looking for the complete list as well, please forward me a copy if you have one, spanks! I had about 3 pages of them typed up, which I’d been working on for 4 years, but my computer crashed in May 06 and I lost everything on the hard drive. So I am starting again, but it would be quicker to get the list from someone who already has it.
    Thanks all!
