Thanks, Otto (I think), but the link gave me an error. I hunted around the
site, though--punched Osama bin Laden in the cheek even.
Twenty-three unsent messages, huh? I only have four or five, and it's just
plain laziness I don't send them. Twenty-three. What a waste. I'd rather
you be impolite and get things off your chest.
