The newsgroup was created by a transparent forgery and removed netwide the next day by a system administrator who immediately recognized the forgery. The forgery was discussed on both alt.config and news.groups. Given that the forged messages contained a number of vehement insults against me, I cannot see how anyone with half a brain could think that I posted them. Sorry to let this spread onto Love-Hounds, but I do feel the need to oppose these lies about me wherever they may happen. -- Tim Maroney, Mac Software Consultant, sun!hoptoad!tim, tim@toad.com "When errors are found in old research, the relevant theories are re-examined.
