What       was done with the "booty" I also don't recall but       there was a logical sounding reason for the action.              By "first hand" account, I'm referring to publication       of either a personal journal or memoirs of a witness       or participant to the events.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
