A friend looking at my screen remarked that it was amazing they did all
that in only 11k.  Later I was reading this newsgroup and noticed the
claim above (1k + 30k) and looked back at my PC screen and *I* saw 11k.
It turns out during a re-enactment of the crime that what both of us
undoubtedly did was glance quickly and see the size of pkxarc.com, which
was immediately above in the dir listing.

Mea culpa, very sorry for the un-warranted joke/sarcasm.  Your red-faced
PC-Partner in crime,
