Hehe... yeah, I was being deliberately obnoxious. But you _did_ say that
your newsreader didn't make you do anything wrong, which was (technically)
incorrect. I was just pointing out that it's a rare MS product that
doesn't do at least one thing the brain dead, broken way. ;)

separator, my (compliant) newsreader would automatically snip your sig
out. ;)

[sig snipped]
