And he caused the California Quake, too! I know he did, 'cause he bragged about it. Stop with the accusations, kiddo. You're making yourself look rather childish in the eyes of the net. > Due to this fact, I have post-poned the call for votes. I will re-post it >when I'm sure it will not go away again. Yo, Thom! Didja ever think that at least _some_ people would've seen your post before someone in CALIFORNIA could see it and cancel it? Perhaps you should try crossposting to misc.test next time you call for votes and see where the ACKs come in from, and when. Good luck with the group. With you pulling for it, it'll need all the help it can get. Pablo
