Am I going insane or was there a bunch of out of date posts from fidonet? I seem to remember seeing most of those articles before... I guess you should disregard this if you never saw them. Maybe my news machine is bonkers. -- James .------------------------------.--------------------------------------. | James R.

This is one way Fidonet keeps up its reputation as a bad neighbor: every so often, they screw something up and send out duplicate posts across the net. -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
