You mean bookmarks to CNN, USA Today, links on the toolbar for Net2Phone and
such AREN'T put there out of the kindness of NS's collective heart? Gee,
payments in exchange for advertising, I'd have never expected it! I'm stunned!
My whole world is crumbling! Next you're going to tell me companies like Coke,
McDonald's and such put those little 30 seconds shows on the TV to entice me to
buy their products, as opposed to entertaining me with nice half-minute short
films! :)

No, I don't REALLY expect you to respond to this section, fear not. :)

Ian, the letters N and M are so close in the alphabet and the keyboard, you
don't REALLY expect his top grasp the difference, do you? :)

Is it just me, or is this record broken? You ought to just type up a little form
text and paste it rather than retyping it dozens of times.

Yes, I'm usually much more logical and impartial in my responses. I'm sick as
hell today, and my politeness filter is currently off line. When I no longer
feel like death is a step up, I'll probably get it back online.
