The above subject line showed up today here in Usenet land-- since we don't see digests, we have no way to reference back to the original articles, and no way of seeing if the information contained is of interest to us. Posters are warned that leaving such enigmatic subject lines has a detrimental effect-- your messages are handled in ways similar to the infamous 'Orphaned response' subject line-- they are not read by many people, and so your comments will not be seen, making the noise level even worse here on Usenet. Please take another five seconds or so and put a real subject line on your articles. thanx chuq -- Chuq Von Rospach, National Semiconductor {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Be seeing you!
