	Ahem.  And what about..... A-Talk?  And A-Talk Plus?  Did you run
this test suite over those?  How did it measure up?

	I mean, be fair....

-------- Satirical 'inews' defeater paragraph ahead. --------

	The paragraph you are reading now is now streaming by your face and
wasting net bandwidth at a rate so large as to be incalculable.  The reason
this paragraph is causing so much disturbance in the Net, and the universe
at large, is because of what I'm sure will go down in history as "The Inews
Bug."  That is, the 'feature' some screwball incorporated into 'inews' to
prevent massive 301-line articles going out, 300 of those lines included,
and the last one saying, "*REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE*"
Unfortunately, this appears to be an artifact of 'notesfiles' (I think), and
not of 'rn' (at least, not our version), so the effort was wasted.  Thus, I
am 'forced' to waste your time and disk space.  Foo.		(-: :-)
