In that sense, I couldn't agree more with Ronald. --upas-wpravlwkjonudifoiqovhgvzni Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by aquamar; Fri Jun 14 10:58:47 MDT 2002 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.20.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id E75F119AC8; Fri, 14 Jun 2002 04:58:17 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from mercury.bath.ac.uk (mercury.bath.ac.uk [138.38.32.81]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id BDDBD19AC1 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Fri, 14 Jun 2002 04:57:54 -0400 (EDT) Received: from news by mercury.bath.ac.uk with local (Exim 3.12 #1) id 17ImlS-0004NW-00 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Fri, 14 Jun 2002 09:49:02 +0100 Received: from GATEWAY by bath.ac.uk with netnews for 9fans@cse.psu.edu (9fans@cse.psu.edu) To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: "Douglas A.
