-snip- Yes, there IS a secret plan to destroy the Internet by having side-conversations like those that normally happen in person when talking to other humans. It's been going on since the USENET days. (Maybe the conspiracy extends all the way back to BBS's and FidoNet but we're not sure. The original founders of "The Plan" are shrouded in mystery.)
I'm sure "The Plan" will be effective soon and the world will come to an end. One of the major components of the plan is to get people to react with snide remarks, which makes it all work so very well! ;-) Hahaha... Nate WY0X -snip- Nothing gave me more pleasure than spending my long distance charges on sending fidmail packets from my BBS to the hub in st. Louis that were LADEN with snide remarks straying further and further off topic. Remember when there were "cheaper" rates at night for POTS? Chris Kb0wlf
