I know, I know, it's time to let this go. But I'm deeply wounded by Robin's reply. Feel my pain. I have to clear up two misconceptions: 1) I never said Robin never said it. I said I missed it. My bad. 2) The most interesting thing for me about the Nostradamus quote is that it's funny. I knew it was a hoax. Honest! Please believe me! And I wish Robin a speedy recovery from her cold. I only hope it's not a computer virus. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
