Dear Tom:

Hi. How are you?  I'm fine.  How's the wife and kids?

Really, Tom "I Rarely Find The Facts Out Before Posting" Neff, you really
*should* find out the facts before posting.  I upload my code to a total
of three places.  That's enough, for a $10 product, to provide for a 
full-time income for me and for my assistant. Usenet happens to a horrid
place for registrations because of attitudes such as the one you're so
proud of representing.

No other channel tries so hard to justify itself for lack of registrations,
either.
