Send your votes to: > waffle, waffle, waffle - rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb - garbage, garbage, garbage Don't you realise that, in the UK at least, we have no idea who the fuck this Dave Letterbox is??? If you want to discuss this guy then, of course, do so. Create a news group if you like - do anything you want but keep it to yourselves. If we had a newsnet covering the whole cosmos you Americanos would think that life back at least as far as the dinosaurs would know who Dave Letteropener was! No we haven't imported the show yet (unlike the well known soaps). We'll let you know if we do (what the ratings are, class of audience.....) -- Regards, Tom Sanders. {aivru,creed,datlog,iclbra,iclkid,idec,inset,root44,stl,ukc}!stc!tom iRMX86* Expert (Roots Rockers) Project Team: roots.rockers@tcom.stc.co.uk * iRMX86 is a trade mark of Intel Corporation
