Just so that this newsgroup doesn't get flooded with condescending and presumptuous messages like this one, I'll respond. Some mail server between here and there is, for some strange reason, re-sending this article that I posted *once*. It has apparently been duplicated about 1000 times on some systems. If people must comment, please send mail directly to me. It would help if you would copy the path as shown in the news posting, so that we can determine the true perpetrator. Then, I'll forward the condescending and presumptuous messages to him/her/it. -- Any opinions expressed are mine, not my employer's. nortond@microsof.beaver.washington.EDU nortond%microsof@uw-beaver.ARPA {decvax,decwrl,sco,sun,trsvax,uunet,uw-beaver}!microsof!nortond
