Hey, don't do that!  Taxes pay my salary (and I dare say that of Mike
Holmes), and so who would collect my wages for me?!?!

On second thoughts, yes, do it.  That way, the systems at all those
state-funded colleges (syr.edu, ed.ac.uk, etc.) from which a lot of the
postings on this topic seem to emanate would cease to exist, and
finally, maybe this tiresome thread itself might vanish from my BOC-L
mailbox... >;-)

Cheers,
