The old "policing-job" really gets heavy, huh Gene?  (nudge, nudge).  After
you remove net.{several}, now you can really come down on the $%^@#d's that

dress, speak, and act?  I'm sure you are sincere, Gene, if ever so slightly
misdirected.  How about cancelling all the groups and going for mod.gene? (-:
