No, it's because I'm po' - they done repossessed my r and my other o. To be fair, I'm not quite *that* poor - but $350+expenses for five days in Amsterdam ($75 a day, I expect?) is pretty much my discretionary spending for several months gone, and I've been trying to use that to pay down my various debts. Just the flight alone is half my monthly rent. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
