Mssrs. Booth and Mednieks--

Since you guys are obviously starting a round of spontaneous human combustion,
would you mind adding alt.flame to your distribution list?  The more the
merrier I always, say.  Fellow alt.flamers, to be doubly sure you don't miss
out on the fun, check in to misc.jobs.misc or comp.misc to watch this potential
inferno develop, and enjoy!  This one has a lot of promise.

Be seing you...
