            I'll know better.


In article <20434@mimsy.umd.edu>, I posted an explanation of who Nancy was,
which wasn't actually relevant but I was all mushy and Jeff d'Arcy *did* ask.

In article <1997@cs-spool.calgary.UUCP>, Cliff Marcellus asks me to make
him a Nancy, which I can't do because there's only one.  ( Sigh.  8-} )

And, despite Michael Lee's failed attempt in <739@ontek.UUCP>, I
got my Nancy by using Unix commands.

However (even though he got the attribution wrong), I agree with
Brett Rabe's sentiment from <8122@thor.acc.stolaf.edu>:  it is time to
kill this subject.

Because having seen the clutter level rise, I do heartily repent my
participating in the silliness -- and (Heaven forbid!) it looks like
they might start the "amusing Unix error messages" again.

Therefore, I am directing followups to myself, and I am posting the
instructions to get a Nancy over in soc.couples, where it is more
apropos.
