Attention all stations and all the ships at sea!

Breaking news, and Bad news at that! The production and testing facilities of the STMD's have been confiscated by the NPC (neighbor's pregnant cat) and any further development will have to be halted.

In the interim, If all interested parties wanting the shortening of your saxon ties, will mail them to me, together with a pre-paid self-addresses stamped envelope, (and a crisp new portrait of U.S. President Abe Lincoln) I will shorten them for you and return them to you by return mail. [Expect return delivery in seven to ten working months.]

P. S. The wife claims the left-over pieces for use in an up-coming patch-work quilt. Photos on completion!
