I have been really reluctant to enter this discussion, but I am finally fed up. Every day I have to wade through seemingly endless replies on this topic. It has been beated to death already over the past MONTH!!! Would people please stop cluttering up this newsgroup with this drivel. (It was interesting for about the first 10 comments, now it is merely annoying). People put the subject up as so many different things I cannot blythely toss programatically all the articles, and must waste my time weeding them out by hand. At 1200 baud, this is a real nuisance. My apologies for adding yet another blemish to this newsgroup but I had to say it hoping people will FINALLY get the message.
