When I just called you a "newbie dweeb" in the previous post, I gave
you way too much credit. But it does explain why you may have
called them.

BTW, Usenet will be down for a week following the Duke server
shutdown so that the routing tables onthe other servers can be
redefined. Posting during that time will just make the process take
longer. So please refrain from posting, stu, or you'll screw it up
for all of us.
