Why is it that when someone puts this kind of shit on the net they can't
even post to multiple groups in one posting.  We have to see this over and
over again as we go through various groups.  Next step of course will be
the obligatory apology posted separately to all the same groups.

Wasn't there something about selling a hypertext version of the U.S.
constitution a while back that also came from the Federal Reserve Board?
What is with that site?  Is it the same guy?  If so why don't they do
something about it?

You got me! I tried to send my obligatory 'your posting is not
appropriate...' mail to him, and the mail bounced. (both times)

But, hey... at least it wasn't 90k of unusable binaries. Look on the
bright side!
