Yeah, works real well on paper, doesn't it?
Too bad it doesn't work in practice. Give me some credit; I'm not an idiot.
Now I've found another problem. I'm running VIRGIN 4.21a and there is a
serious problem with the Q-scan pointers. One time it won't find any new
messages, another time it'll scan a sub starting at number 1.
What do you propose I do about this?
