Peter, you asshole, you should have known better than to cross-post
random information into technical newsgroups.  Now the utterly predictable
flood of follow-ups is reducing the utility of these newsgroups.  You let
your preoccupation with your personal problems override the netiquette
that is essential for smooth operation of this decentralized service.

I'm sure we ALL have pet peeves or points of personal concern we'd like
to share with others, AND THERE ARE APPROPRIATE NEWSGROUPS FOR DOING SO.

DIRECT ALL FOLLOW-UPS TO misc.misc OR SOME OTHER APPROPRIATE NEWSGROUP.

P.S.  I'm posting this to the tech newsgroups so that followers-up will
be able to see it.  I have set the "Followup-To" header to route further
branches of this thread to "junk" (we don't have a full set of newsgroups
here, for obvious reasons).  Please take equal care yourself.
