This discussion is all very informative, I guess, but I wonder who had the
eNORmous imagination to choose comp.protocols.tcp-ip for this subject.  A bad
choice of newsgroup FAR outweighs any consideration of exact syntax.

news.misc or somewhere like that?  Please do not follow up to this message.
Over and out.
