If unpronouncability of names is justification for a newsgroup, I guess I deserve one too. But I'll turn down that "honor", thank you. > Tim Pierce will say no, but... thats life in the alt universe. I say no too. I don't do it as frequesntly as Tim, but why should we let him have all the fun? -- Michael A Stoodt [MaS] | stoodt@cis.umassd.edu | No boom _today_. Boom tomorrow.

It's of regional interest (like someone in Germany would care about your favorite proivider in Cleveland) and doesn't belong in a world-wide group, it wasn't discussed in alt.config, and I've got news for you, kiddo: Tim Pierce isn't the only one who will say no. -- Concerned about your message security?
