In the usual fine form of Usenet, I have received a couple of flames for my posting. It seems some misguided individuals thought I was flaming Doug Eastick for his posting. I wasn't. There is a continuing trend in this group, as all of us regulars know: Once in a while (usually once per year) someone posts saying "Does this group still exist?". This is followed by a flurry of discussion about organizing a singles party, lasting about two weeks. Then it all goes quiet again. *This* time, it happened twice in a single year! Thus my posting. I'll never ever post an article to Usenet again. :-) -chk -- C.
