	Nobody send him anything.

	Nobody.

	Anything.

	And if he can't figure it out for himself, he can just sit
there and think about it until he drools or his wife beats all his
computer equipment to death with a baseball bat, whichever comes
first.

	(Sci.aquaria was the last straw, I think, the one that snapped
the man's mind, sent him into a spin.  Oh, Richard, you sly dog, you
smoked them out on this one:  "Excuse me, sir, we're conducting an
ontological exercise.  It concerns whether you take the net too fucking 
seriously, and if you do, we've got something here that's going to
drive you absolutely batshit."
	Fiend.  Remorseless fiend.
	I wish I'd thought of it.)

	Don't take a vote, Peter.  Get a clue.
