ok, I'm unsure who I'm quoting above.  However, the point is valid. 
Wayne, you set people up for a fall. Quite deliberately. Not very nice.  
I don't think you should do that any more.

"The Riddler Post".  Coo, sounds just like "The Winebox Enquiry" , doncha think?
I've been posting regularly to nz.general, nz.arts, nz.comp, and nz.wanted for a while now.
I've regularly posted on issues on gun control. (As well as rabid Babylon 5 discussions :-) 
I'd have thought that Wayne would have noticed me by now! (Down, ego, down)

But I've been following the thread here...
