  The "topic at hand" (foot?) was a suggestion I cut off my legs
and send them through the US mail. This group, as you have so
perspicaciously discerned, is alt.flame. It is not
alt.missmanners, and if you think it should be, I suspect you are
confused. BTW, do you know how and why this group got created in
the first place?

  Apologies to anyone listening in for tepid flaming.
