Oh well, I guess this random, knee-jerk response answers my question.  I
guess Doctor Who doesn't go over very well with the colonials... ;-)

Um... whatever floats your boat, Mike.  But be sure to Cc: your
unsubscription command to the list.  That way, we can be sure to know the
exact time you left our presence, so that each year, at that precise
moment, we can hold a candlelit vigil in homage to the Possessor of the
One True Life, now sadly departed.

> telling you, all get a life!!!

Okay, but tell me where I can get the best deals.  Do they sell them on
the Home Shopping Network?

Btw, I hope you continue your missionary work on other lists.  I'm sure
they'll appreciate your insight as much as we have.

Cheers,

Paul.
