[Air-l] FW: Inviting you to participate in PISTA 2004

[elijah wright]

What's irritating is that a whole bunch of us here locally got spammed
with this very same message on October 28.

Does anybody know these PISTA people well enough to be able to tell them
that their communications practices have "pist" people off?
