   The joys of the modern usenet! ;) Jokes aside, maybe some of the spam will   
   decrease now since google is cutting usenet access tomorrow?   
      
   Let's see!   
      
   I'm still trying to recruit new usenetters, but sadly no one has yet taken   
   the bait. =(

   Ahh... well, one or two is fine, but after a soft and well meaning push,   
   if there's no reply, then at least I assume the thread collapsed under its   
   own weight.
