I have to agree here! Further, I am limited to posting via the amiga-relay, and that limits me to these newsgroups for posting (i.e. comp.sys.amiga.misc, comp.sys.amiga.hardware, and comp.sys.amiga.games). Until I get news from the relay administration saying that I can use other addresses to post to other newsgroups, there are few other alternatives to comply with Mr. de Jong's request above. Further, does anyone else think it a might inconsiderate to assume that everybody elses world is just like yours, or am I going off the deep end? I would NOT consider it a safe assumption that a post ALWAYS comes from someone with a usenet feed! (I only wish we had one here!) Mr. de Jong, your reminder is taken. Unfortunately, I cannot apply it, due to circumstantial differences, but it has been noted. ---------------------------------------------------------------- -Lou Williams Via Bitnet : william8@niehs.bitnet Via Internet: lou@vaxsc.niehs.nih.gov Computer Sciences Corporation, Research Triangle Park, NC ---------------------------------------------------------------- -Sometimes in order to feel better about yourself, you have to make others feel bad, and I'm tired of making others feel good about themselves. -Homer Simpson. ---------------------------------------------------------------- All of the above is only my opinion.
