You would have read it in an Amiga group and *still* responded as though
you hadn't realized what computer group you were reading????  (Sounds like
a candidate for alt.usenet.recovery  for serious addicts who read EVERY
NEWSGROUP - twice... :>  )

New people pop up on usenet every day...what wasn't interesting to very
many last week, may suddenly be the topic of the day NEXT week as all the
new folks discover the world of the the amiga groups that their sites just
received.

Peculiar logic...does this mean that if I feel I *NEED* more than one
calendar, I must have -several- refrigerators to hang them on??? :>

I have  WHAT!WHEN!Whatever! on order.  My "need" for it has nothing to
do with having more than one computer.  I just need some reminding at times
(like when a bill is due, or a birthday coming up, or even when to be on 
PMS alert. *grin*)  Scheduling programs aren't ONLY for the executive - us
little people need to organize our busy lives, too.  (especially when we
lapse into stress/forgetful mode!)

Making assumptions about another's needs without asking for verification
first of those needs is a poor practice.  When people ask you about floppy 
drives, do you launch into the virtues of hard drives as though you heard
not a word about what they were asking?  Merely assuming that they really
want to know about hard drives instead?   

>If the requestor was serious, he can contact the people at the email

And if the requestor is able to find what he needs WITHOUT leaving email
does that mean he was NOT serious???  Fascinating logic...ever thought of
working for the government? :>

Cornfucious say "Jumping to conclusions without a parachute is likely to
result in finding oneself up a creek without a paddle"  :>
