Buzz off, twit.

(gosh, that made me feel better, but maybe I ought to rephrase this in
more, uhm, "correct" terms:)

I don't feel that a discrete notice of that sort, to one's colleagues,
is out-of-place here on comp.sys.amiga. Little Julie (or whoever)
isn't "what comes 9 months after fucking", he/she is an actual living
breathing unique individual and many parents derive great joy from
bringing life into this world where death can all-too-easy be the
result of our actions. I see no reason to rain on their parade with
tasteless messages complaining that it wasn't yet another article in
the endless streams of trivia and stupid questions that plague the
net.

Congratulations, Dan, John Toebes XVII, et. al. I am sure that your
children will be warm, caring, intelligent individuals -- unlike some
of us here.
