You've done your part to that end (at least to me) -- but I think you'll
find out that Karl was posting that tongue-in-cheek, just slightly.  (So he
says, anyway.)  Now, if some of the others would let go of it, we could
finally put this thing to rest and get on with whatever it was we were doing
in the first place.

Sometimes, it does.  That'd be enough reason for me to try.  (Tell Aaron he
needs to get a network of Sun SPARC 2s.  :-)

I never said it wasn't -- you get a large enough group of people, you'll
have a bad apple or two.  It goes with the territory.

Not to worry -- it happens.

I agree -- it's time to bury this one in the back yard and get on with more
important stuff.  (Like, is this *really* a good newsgroup for a Yankees fan
to be hanging around in?  :-)

>Michael Lurie  Peace to all.

...and fire at will towards men -- oops!  that's in alt.fan.q.  Sorry...
