If so, I'd like to mention that in all of the time I've been using the net, I have found NOTHING more obnoxious than articles entitled "Orphaned Response"! Just what the hel* is that supposed to mean, anyway? Any reasonably intelligent program would go to the trouble to ASK you for a subject if it couldn't think of one itself! Since I first began using readnews (yes! readnews!) I have read exactly ONE Orphaned Response, when I was unfamiliar with the system. Since them, I have categorically "n"ed every single one of them, and plan on continuing to "n" them as long as I use this system. DOWN WITH NOTES! Send any replies to this message as an "Orphaned Response" so I won't have to read it. -- -- Brian Reynolds {ihnp4|clyde|sdcrdcf}!akgua!jett!brian
