Uh, well, I meant it kind of as a joke, but I really do think that
anyone contemplating such an exercise needs to be seen to, preferebly
by a vet, though a tree-surgeon would do in a pinch.

Mind you, since I posted this, I have been told that out in America,
EastEnders means some group of people (ethnic?) in which case I
withdraw my flamage.  'Cos where I come from, it is a soap-opera.

Try this: "I'm starting up a Dallas mailing list".  Does that sound
geographical, or soap-opera-like to you?  :-)

I am redirecting followups to, um, err ...  Where would be
appropriate?  Well, I'm sure news.sysadmin isn't.

Listen, I tell you what, just don't follow up.  Hoopy, huh?  :-)
