Because people like me who act as zone gates get size of bringing in 100's of 
messages that have a trailer like:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
| I have nothing
| better to do 
| other that pad my
| ego out.
|<get the message>
| I certainly hope so
---------------------------------------------------------------------

-Chris

PS: Stephen [Mr Moderator] please ask the person to cut the feed. Otherwise I 
pull the plug to australia.
[I do not want to do this]
