It's a particularly malicious bunch of nonsense from our resident troll. Don't take what he says seriously. I'm keep hoping he'll go away... though unfortunately it doesn't look likely. In more than twelve years of Usenet participation, he is literally the only person I've ever killfiled. It is not at all surprising to me that he has escalated to openly insulting matz. I imagine it will only get worse. David -- David Alan Black home: dblack@candle.superlink.net work: blackdav@shu.edu Web: http://pirate.shu.edu/~blackdav
