This sure tastes one *HELL* of a lot like an advertisement to me: In article <8621@tektronix.UUCP>, pate@tektronix.UUCP (Pat Emily) writes: > > ################################################################# > # # > # MIDWEST FARMLAND FOR SALE # > # # > ################################################################# > > Midwest land will rise in value!

The land being offered was most probably taken from farmers who were unable to remain profitable in the current economy. Note carefully the thinly disguised intent to subdivide the property. This is the slimiest of the slimey. I would suggest that the SA at the poster's site carefully explain the use of the net to her. *I* wouldn't mind if she lost her access, actually. -- Disclaimer: Disclaimer? DISCLAIMER!?

I would take up this incredible offer, but I'm a bit short on funds having bought an excellent dinette set recently, and having flown over to NJ to check that an earring found there wasn't mine :-) -- Regards, Bruce Munro. <bruce@stc.UUCP> ...seismo!mcvax!ukc!stc!bruce
