We have witnessed a fine example of this homily in the emanation of large numbers of repetitive articles from buggy notesfiles. To adopt Steve Nelson's simile, we notesfile nonusers got the same feeling that we would sitting in a covered wagon, watching a Learjet fly into a mountain. Lew Mammel, Jr. ihuxr!lew
