Yeah well, put it in perspective.  I'm offering this unofficial patch
as an alternative to *trashing* those non-RFC articles, as some have
suggested, or rudely mass bombarding the poster with email.  I figure
the hack is innocuous enough that it's easier to do it this way and just
SHUT the old 'nn' UP once and for all.

Also note where it goes -- right next to ZAPNOTES which I didn't write
but which also screws around with the header.  If I'm wrong, that's
wrong too.

Anyway since it's unofficial, just vote with your #defines, not Pnews.
