CORRECTION to original question about Incorporated/Incorporation
Subject:CORRECTION to original question about Incorporated/Incorporation From:"Parker, Cassandra M. (EXCH)" <CMPARKER -at- INTERMEDIA -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 9 Mar 1998 19:18:58 -0500
Please, Please accept my apology. In my original question below, I
meant a COMMA before the word incorporation, not a period.
I was trying to get a quick response and typed the wrong thing myself.
Thanks to all who have responded. The replies are great and helpful.
Thanks again, Cass
