If you don't ... isn't your choice of words rather strong for an arbitrary flame? This must be your first or second posting; you just coudln't wait to post something, anything, even a flame, since you coudn't think of a joke. Try contributing something constructive, or atleast net.silly ... The originator of the joke doesn't deserve such abusive language; that is, again, unless you know him from some prior flame-outs. If your reply was intended to be a joke ... your posting is not even remotely funny. It is, however, laughable, and you are too, for thinking it might be. jsl@princeton *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
