Who is the person?  Perhaps it is someone we all know!!! ;-)

Can you say "netiquette"?  Good, I knew that you could!  There is an
appropriate group for this type of inquiry.  Finding the name of this
newsgroup is left as an exercise for the reader.  There once was an
appropriate newsgroup for this type of followup, but we don't have it
here at least.

Oh, we thought you were doing the wrong thing by mistake.  Since you
did it on purpose, you're not pardoned! :-}

By the way, why is a guy form AT&T going to the net for advice about
telephones??!!  Don't you guys know how they work, either? ;-)  Say,
is anyone from GTE listening??

What is the graphic in your signature?  A guy with his head up his ???

(Sorry for the flame, but I just couldn't resist!)

Toasty regards,
