I myself have never noticed any mutilated articles on the net. Does anyone know whether the dreaded line-eater really exists? If by some chance the first line of this article, as it appears on your system, claims to be the second line instead of the first, send me mail so that I'll know the line-eater is for real. But if you happen to have good reason to believe that it doesn't exist, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
