But what is a wombat, anyway? Why are they used? And on whom? By analogy with cricketbats and baseball bats, I have the general idea, but a little more information would be helpful. Most specially, how do I protect myself from them? STella Calvert (guest on ...!decvax!frog!wjr) Every man and every woman is a star.
