ten, twenty, maybe thirty lines would have been funny.  400 wasn't.  It
wasn't even accurate - 400 lines x 15 per line x about 25
years/generation is only 150k years, not 200k.  You also left out the
"grand".  I calculate that our site probably spent five minutes
receiving that wonderful message, at a cost of probably 25 cents.  Now
multiply that by the THOUSANDS of sites on usenet, not all with local
connections.  Not bad, you just made AT&T several hundred dollars.
