That's okay, I don't watch (listen to) that one.

When Cabot died, his will stated that itr was too bad Clay did not
have a son. If he had, the company would be in good hands. The company
would be Jack's unless Clay married Gwyn by such and such a date.
Clay was in an on-again, off-again romance with Gwyn. They did not get
married. Almost, but one of them (or both) was late to the church and
they did not make it. And, if memory serves me right, had just
divorced Ava and (he it gets fuzzy - was this before Carly or after?)
Abril (Rio's sister) fell in love with Clay and gave her all to him
(and of course she became pregnant).  She found out what he was really
like before she knew she was pregnant, and broke off with him
(actually, I think that after had "had" her, he told her to get lost).
When she found out she was pregnant, she did not want Clay to know, so
she named a stranger at AE, Monty, as the father. Monty knew who the
father was, and he was blackmailing (or attempting to blackmail)
everyone with the knowledge.  Abril had dreams of Clay finding out he
was the father, falling in love with Abril, and living happily ever
after. Abril decided to give the baby to Trisha and Trucker to replace
the one that died. Clay's lawyer said it's too bad he wasn't the
father because that could guarantee his placve at AE. Clay was going
to bride the lab to "prove" he was the father, but he didn't have to.
Clay found out he was the father, and he was going to sue Trisha (mind
you, his own daughter) for custody. Gwyn was outraged (what else is
new?).  Abril was missing the baby, visiting all the time, telling
Trisha what was best for the baby (when to sleep, what toys to play
with, she was getting to be a pain). I think Trisha told her off (but
this could be wishful thinking). Abril wanted the baby back. Clay
saved the baby from a burning building, and Trisha saw him in a new
light (for a few seconds at least). A judge decided that Abril should
have the baby.  Abril and the baby went away to live a happy, normal
life.

I haven't herad anyhting, but he has been gone awhile now. Unless he's
in Europe again, he'll probably be back.

I don't remember.

System Stuff (how to edit and post a follow-up)

This works for rn (well, it works for me, I don't knwo how much of
this is GenRad-specific).

To post a follow up to an article, I type F (to include the original
article) and answer a few questions (Are you absolutely sure... and
Prepared file to include). An editor is brought up and I get to use
emacs (my default editor) to type in the message, and delete the
excess lines.

I can also post an original posting my using an editor to create a
file then saying postnews. I answer a few questions, and when the
editor comes up with the blank file, I insert the ready-made file
(CTRL-x i filename). Or, you can type in the editor. When you're done
and you exit the editor, there is another question (send, abort, edit,
list) I type send and wait for the confirmation that it went.

Your system may be different. There must be someone there that posts
that is willing to help you. 

If not, let me know what specific questions you have and I'll see what
I can do (I'm a user, not a SysAdmin type person). I just try things
and see what happens, then I tell other people about it.
