You're not using 'rn', are you? Not the version I use, certainly.

Well, time for me to comment on this. I was getting bored of modem
'jokes', cartoon quotes, and other drivel (never mind the 'n' key; I
use the 'k' key). I don't often laugh out loud here at work (makes
my neighbors wonder :-), but I made an involuntary exception upon
reading rdp's posting. Even as I read it, I realized half the fun
would be reading followups from people who misunderstood it. Nowhere
near as fun as the original, but better than Bugs Bunny.

Congratulations, rdp, on another fine posting.  Your "audio anecdote
of the <interval>" (net.audio) is easily the best material on the net
(in my opinion, of course).  Keep it up, please.

For those who can't tell, no sarcasm here. I'm sincere.
