Summary: 

In a previous article there was a question posted about exit()
and wait() and why said functions didn't seem to work.  It turns
out the fellows code was wrong, but that's not the point...

The point is that everyone who found the bug/problem did not need
to post the answer to the net.  I answered the fellow, but I did it
with mail.  Why? Two reasons:
	(1)	Mail keeps system and news loads down
	(2)	The original poster is bound to post a follow-up
		article if the problem is general enough.

Mail over News.  Its like Phone versus Radio.  If the President asked
a question during his weekly radio address, you would answer by phone, 
not by buying radio time. (And let's not get into a political discussion!)
