Does this > have something to do with "slamming?" You forget to pay your AT&T bill. The tank arrives at your house. The guy behind the machine gun very politely reminds you of the past due bill. AT&T has had such success with this new collection technique that they are thinking of getting more tanks. Sprint, on the other hand, is investing heavily in "smart" bombs that can deliver a dunning notice into your backyard with precision accuracy. It is expect that, in order to deliver the bills in as unobtrusive a manner as possible, that they will order several B-2's. Smaller LD companies, who do not have the financial resources of the majors, have been cheered by recent events in the Middle East. It seems that there is now a large quantity of surplus Soviet tanks and Armored Personell Carriers available at dirt cheap prices. As the guy in the tank says, "Thank you for choosing AT&T."

One more message, then the thread must close, sorry. (No, really I am not sorry, I just said that.) :) PAT]
