Today I read an article. Then I read a response which contained the original. Then, I read a response to the response which had a large portion of text of both the original AND the first response. COME ON PEOPLE, this is a waste of time and computer resources. ----- I thought that the idea for net.flame WAS to waste time and computer resources. Besides, sometimes it's hard to dredge up old articles that are being referred to. --Randy rh@mit-eddie
