    *I* didn't write that!  That's the way it came!  Don't you remember
    where you posted from?

    Apparently we *aren't* dealing in the present, are we?

    Anyhow, #1 It was pointed out to me last night that chi.mail is not
    the local news group some of us would like it to be and #2 This has
    ceased to be about clout, but about about our petty qualms.

    Therefore, I will close by saying, "You're absolutely right, Karl;
    you're always right, and anyone who argues with you is a d***
    fool."  I yield to your point 100%.

    Gerry Swetsky - Who's too busy installing Cisco routers here to be
    concerned with this. :-)
