I spoke to Peter on the phone a few minutes ago, and he assured me that: 1) The STV vote for an aquaria group is legitimate, votes are coming in, and he is counting them. 2) He has no intention of leaving the net any time soon, and will continue to post from both ficc and sugar. 3) Current message-IDs at ficc.uu.net are in the 7100 range. It says something about the Richard Sexton Sycophants that they have to stoop to this level to discredit Peter; that must mean that they have given up on their feeble arguments. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jay@splut.conmicro.com (eieio)| adequately be explained by stupidity. {attctc,bellcore}!texbell!splut!jay +---------------------------------------- "...when hasn't gibberish been legal C?" -- Tom Horsley, tom@ssd.harris.com Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
