I agree with Rita.  I see my clumsiness with mice and my difficulty in
translating tiny pictures into meaningful commands as shortcomings, not

Amazing!  I was just contemplating this very fact myself while knocking

she just looked at me like I was some crazed nut case.  Go figure.

  Ignore it. Electronic junk mail is just like any other junk mail. For
some reason a lot of people seem to feel compelled to react somehow when
they get electronic junk mail, or read the outpourings of email lunatics,
but not when they get ordinary junk mail or come across weird
political or religious printed matter.

I'm not really up on such things but to the best of my knowledge the answer
is "NO!" Fingerprinting in Australia seems to be restricted to applicants for
jobs in our police forces and anyone charged with a crime. In both cases, the
person concerned can apply to have his fingerprint records destroyed if he
resigns from the police force or is not convicted of a crime.

BTW Akio, have you heard anything about the Japanese bride who went AWOL on
her honeymoon in Sydney? Is there any news of her since she arrived back in
Japan?

Until eight years ago, I had always spelt 'even though' as one word - analogous
to 'although'. My wonderful Linguistics lecturer was the first to point out
that I was in error but she didn't penalise me for it at all. She also used
to excuse everyone's spelling errors in examinations, but normally came
down hard on those that appeared in essays and assignments where we were
expected to have proof read our work and corrected them before handing it in.
IMO, it is unreasonable to expect perfect spelling and syntax in anything that
has to be written under time limit conditions...... only those who never make
typos should 'cast stones'.

I have to agree with what my pop says--we should pack up the whole
