Please... people with the "notes" interface... remember:

	(1) Not everyone has that interface (most don't, in fact), and
	    can't determine what a "note" is.  The proper term is "article"
	    (given the original structure of this net).

	(2) Even for the few that have the "notes" interface on the net,
	    the numbers (like #6) will only match up ACCIDENTALLY.  Your
	    #6 note can be someone else's #3 note and so on.

I know, I know, you are probably just one of those proverbial "naive users".

Maybe I should go crawl back to "net.unix-wizards" where I belong, along
with all those discussions of KEN-11 drivers for 4.2bsd, and in "net.lang.c",
with discussions of the parsability of "a--+-++**++*b" and such.

I guess I will.  Don't take it personally... I'm just trying to clean up
the language a bit so that you can communicate (the name of the "net" game)
with others a tad easier.
