I love newsgroups.  Just to clarify matters, the "effect" was intentional for
two reasons.  First, it symbolizes the electronic nature of this form of
democracy (i.e. e-ffect).  Second, it creates unease in those people who
notice the mistake.  I am sorry for the cross post with .announce.  This will
be my last message.
