   Valdis Kletnieks would have you believe that the maximum
number of users allowed on relay was "conveniently" chosen as
211.  Don't believe it for a moment!  211 is a prime number,
and is exactly 12 greater than the next lower prime number,
_and_ 12 less than the next higher prime number.

   Valdis, if that was the criteria, why couldn't you have
chosen a relay limit of 19,949, which is 12 higher than
19,937 and 12 lower than 19,961?
