It was originated to have a newsgroup _specifically_ to have a place to discuss the contents of c.b.i.p. However,... ...This is NOT comp.sys.ibm.pc!!!!! Queries - and responses - like the following are not rightfully placed - nor answered - in this newsgroup! Please help us in keeping relevant questions and discussions in c.b.i.p.d.

And if some poor ignorant soul should by mistake (how else?) post such an inquiry, please restrain yourself from issuing a public reply which only serves to compound (and continue) the problem. Instead reply by private e-mail.
