I'll make this fast and short.

1.  My note on terrorism wasn't meant to be an advertisement, had I
    thought it would be thought of that way I would have indicated
    such.  I sell compilers, not disaster recovery.

    I can't see making a profit on the idea of "30 ways to recover
    from a nuclear blast on your city's water works."

2.  My understanding from news is that a message was seen once; I
    understand this is not the case, i.e. if you post a message to
    several lists it is not a single message as it is under news.

3.  I was trying to post this to groups dealing with large computers
    so people would notice it and think about fixing things if they
    hadn't thought much about this. I appear to have posted it to a
    few that it did not apply to.  Please excuse this.

4.  A lot of people don't realize that this is going to happen
    again, and more frequently.

5.  This is *not* the end of the world or the end of civilization;
    the trick in bad times is to live through it, if you can.

6.  Don't bother complaining to MCI Mail about too much posting; I
    doubt they care;  they *CHARGE* by the message sent.  Why should
    they care how many messages I send out?  They get *paid* for
    outgoing mail.
