Someone around here has been mumbling again. Apparently they go
by the name of Patrick Ford.

Not necessarily, as I pointed out to start with and you have agreed
with below!

Which is what Voyager should do itself (although most importantly I
want it to just do a flush on its own).

http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?text has no banners or graphics
of any kind.

I've got it thanks.

It was an attempt which yielded poor results, so it was a poor
attempt. Like if you go to hit a ball and miss, you made a poor
attempt, not a fully successful one.

Only because you snipped my argument and then pointed out something
which completely ignored it, and if it was you just being temporarily
dippy I wouldn't have minded but you added insults as well.

Nope. I can quite easily reply to a verbal insult with "yeah, yeah,
whatever" and the insultor would have failed miserably. I relpied in
the equivalent 'textual' way.
