	The thought is there, but unfortunately this flame will do
	little or no good.  You see, in just a few months there will be
	a new swarm of "moronic dodoes" who will never get to read this
	little piece of instruction, and will ask, lamely, "how do I get
	mail from, like, USC to Encino" ... and we will have to flame
	again.  Some may even ask how to post to the net, and many will
	find out how.  There really is nothing that can be done about
	this, and like a previous article said, "we learn to put up with
	it" (apologies if you've been misquoted).  But all of this is
	part of the (sometimes putrid) flavor of net.land.  Oh well.
