Greetings!
Innkeeper! Slurpees and Cheetos for all my men!
I just met with the management people and, thanks to your many suggestions
and helpful comments, they accepted my heartfelt objections to numbering the
headings. No numbered headings! Yay!
I wrote up a small proposal which was divided their suggestions into the

Thanks to everyone who chimed in and gave me the arguments I was able to
sell. I couldn't have done it without ya!

Be seeing you,
Dave
