OK, guys, now you're in trouble.  I have been secretly culling the entire
transcript of this thread and have sold it for lucrative profit to the
producers of L.A. Law.  You guys don't get a penny.

And *my* lawyers say that's OK, because if you can successfully sue me
over this, then anyone can sue anybody else, the whole Usenet thing will shut
down, and that, of course, will result in the fall of civilization, and
the ultimate clearing of the court docket.

See you in court, counselor.
