 CS> Hehehe,

Truer words were never spoken even after well over 1000 years have gone by. 
Did Anglo-Saxons have fidonet nodes?  If so then I think I give new meaning to
backwards compatibilty.

So I've noticed.  What do you think my odds are?  So far I've only heard the
word 'impossible' which is probably what motivated me to take the chance. 
Also without the election being called I thought I'd give it a shot if for no
other reson than to increase the traffic here, and on that count I think I
might have outdone even an election here would have on this regard.

And on that note I believe I am a winner.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
