What high score? Strictly middling is what it is.

There ARE certain holes one can pick in the experimental setup,
though. Rumours have it that quite a lot of underhanded dealing
and dirty work went on in the capture of certain categories.

Comments: To: Words-L Distribution <words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu>

1). Saw this yesterday in a Radio Shack employees' bathroom: It is
unadvertised Radio Shack policy to settle any dispute with a customer
to the customer's satisfaction where the amount in question is $100.00 or
lower, *despite any public statements or in-store signage to the
contrary.* Reasoning is that a dissatisfied customer will tell up to 10
friends of the poor experience, possibly resulting in thousands of dollars
lost from one customer's dispute. So keep it in mind if you are a Radio
Shack customer.

2). Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems (the cellular division) has quietly
implemented a change in their most popular contract that will result in
customers who renew at the accustomed time being charged more than they
presently are. Currently, the most popular contract charges a flat rate of
$40.00 a month, with $.40/minute peak airtime charges and free off-peak.
If, for example, I waited until my contract expiration date to renew, I
would receive the same provisions, except that off-peak would now cost
$.02/minute. If, however, I renew before expiration time, I can have
another year of the old contractural billing structure. For users like me
who deliberately skew all their cellular talk time into the free period,
this tiny increase could become a significant expense. I don't know if any
other cellular companies are doing things like this, but it might pay to
check before your contract is up.

It took a great deal less energy to "dump" it to the list.  I gather you

Yeah, I understood this.  I meant I have only seen the dogs when they
were "really" working as opposed to "demonstrating" their working techniques.

Of course the dogs wouldn't distinguish...   Sheepdog trials are sort
of like the original pulling contests with working horses (or working 
tractors), I suppose.

In my ever-vigilant search for the truth, I called the local state patrol
office about moving radars.

Apparently, we do have them in Washington, but not very many.  They're a bit
more expensive than the regular kind.  They will only work if the two vehicles
are moving in the opposite direction.  When I asked about the reliability, the
guy futzed a little.  According to him, they are very reliable and, like their
standard radar, are calibrated every day before use.

T. Ronin:  I still don't believe you saw a look of disappointment on the guy's
face, unless he had a really big face.  Disappointment is kinda a hard thing to
catch at 180 miles an hour.  Elation, maybe.  Sudden ecstasy, most likely.  But
disappoinment -- no. ;-)

So, I say to your story now -- SO!!! (what else would be the opposite of
NOT!!!)

Ok, what do y'all think?  I can easily zap the kiddies from the list, but
