I remember my father ranting       about one of my school teachers not having a telephone - he considered       it quite disgraceful. There are, though, many instances - like this       Ancestry business - where I realise I am cutting off my nose to spite my       face.              --       Jenny M Benson       Wrexham, UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
