	SOME YEARS AGO I MADE THE SAME SUGGESTION (without any reaction
	from the net *AT ALL* - maybe it feel straight into the big-bucket?
	or got censored by my systems administrator, who hates networks?? :-)

	...anyway, what was I about to say... oh, yes, prices ... well, when
	you all decide to elect me in the "least-useful" category, I'd be
	happy if you all would send me a postcard each, that would be a nice
	office decoration, everyone saying "THANKS FOR SHUTTING UP" ...

	anyway, I think that would be a nice personal way of honoring people
	like Gene Spafford, Mark Horton, Chuq, whats-his-name at seismo (-:
	.....etc... how about Xmas-cards, or birthday cards, or ....
	the hole net could send HAPPY BIRTHDAY Email to Rick (that's his name)
	and bring his computer crashing down ... ((-:... yes, I'm having
	fun with the concept ...

		Cheers,
