It's not that it's far fetched, it's that it has absolutely nothing to do with quackle. -- Paul Phillips | Once those zeroes roll up [in the year 2000], you'd Protagonist | better have converted all of your money to krugerands Empiricist | and ammunition. -- Jamie Zawinski i'll ship a pulp |----------* http://www.improving.org/paulp/ *---------- Yahoo!
