Frank, After I posted my message (in haste), I read another message in which you did seem to know who posted the message, and I felt terrible. Using Netscape 3.0 through InfiNet does not provide any "kill" capability; if it did, I would have cancelled my posting. I apologize to all that I may have offended. Incidentally, I am proud to be one of the people for whom the term "feminazi" was invented, but I do not use this term myself due to the "nazi" part of the name.
