Right now, some unnamed service in an unnamed net.xxxx notesfile has quite a coup going. I read it once when it first showed up, and I've gotten the pleasure of seeing it 5 more times from my automatic sequencer as 5 responses have come in, one at a time. And more are likely to be forthcoming. Just like TV! I didn't like it the first time, but I get to see it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and ... Repetition is important to advertising, please don't help it out.
