Do you remember watching those old slapstick comedies where the principle character(s) would try to do something useful (like fix a leaking faucet) and would, of course, end up inadvertently destroying the entire house? Well, I sort of feel that way now. For some reason, some mailer somewhere has decided to add insult to injury by sending out 4 copies of everything I posted to xpert. Mind you, I only posted it once, but this seems to be irrelevant. Something, somwhere, has decided that what really needs to happen is for the ENTIRE NETWORK to want to KILL one Jordan K. Hubbard for War Crimes against the backbone. Now, I'll admit, I've cross posted on occasion. I once even inadvertently sent out a "wall" message to a good portion of the internet. But this time was different, honest! I was just trying to answer all the people asking me (at least once a day) where the hell awm was and why was it taking so long for me to repost it.. Is this Bad Karma coming back? Am I paying for past sins? Does this mean I have to read the instructions? It wasn't my fault that Mrs. Marsh's sofa got into the swimming pool! It was an accident! Ok. I surrender. At Dave's "Diabolo room" usenix BOF will be one humble, contrite Jordan Hubbard wearing a large target tee-shirt. All I ask is that you make it quick, I don't take extreme pain well. If it's any consolation, I got a copy of everything too. Sigh... Whimper... My stomach hurts. Jordan
