        Dammit, this is what you did when we were arguing about web
browsers, you'll start by saying something ridiculous and then when
pressed resort to a position so reasonable I can't shake you out of it. I
pause only to note that Youngs appears to get to the US without serious

furniture polish, and leave it there :-) Yours,

ObCD: Hawkwind - _Bring Me The Head of Yuri Gagarin_ (because recent
