I almost missed this when wading through a bunch of old postings.  Am
I being incredibly dense (entirely possible) in thinking that Matt W.
actually lost complete net access, or is this a new development?  Is
the only reason we aren't hearing from him now that he is physically
away from UCB, and will resume posting when he returns?  Will some
sort of justice, more or less, eventually prevail? (Nah!)

I have missed weemba's (and obnoxio's) postings, as I thought he was
capable of some of the most biting satire on the net (as well as some
true trash!).  It is never fun to be on the receiving end of postings
such as he often generated, but it sure was fun to watch him pitch
sand in the gears of many a train speeding blindly ahead.  Many of his
attacks appeared well deserved, some not, but they were rarely boring.

Any possibility of some "guest" postings by weemba until he is back on
line full time?  I am certainly looking forward to seeing what he has
to say about all this hooraw.

There are no typos.  There are, however, noisy lines going into your
system, randomly dropping and changing characters.
