  Greetings,

     I am loathe to publicly correct folks but I believe you have made a
minor mistake and a misinterpretation of what I said.
     First, my name does not give instant gender recognition but most
folks who know me have found I am not a man.  Apologies for
misleading you.
     Secondly, The 'common areas' I referred to are not the areas where
smoking is permitted but those areas at an event such as around the
list field, near Court, etc., that are in common usage but are areas
where smoking is not accepted.  I will try to be more clear in
future.  Perhaps the term Public areas would have made it clearer.

Chagan,
