The overwhelming number of people trying to make ET recover was frightening it. I think that either ET was faking it to get rid of the people (after all it worked!) or it just needed to be left alone (which is what happened when it recovered. By the way, it seems to me that saying "spoiler" inside of an article is sort of useless. People like me who read news at 9600 baud really don't have a chance to type a ^C after starting an article, and people who read news at 300 baud really don't want to see the many lines of spoiler warnings. Saying "Spoiler" in the header is what is really needed. Scott Hankerson !ihnss!ihps3!stolaf!hankers !harpo!stolaf!hankers
