- I was simply responding to the message topic, which still is "Holiday NeXT
- Sale!!", and the backlash my friend at Spherical got for that post. You still
- use phrases like "most of the folks", as your evil twin did. It may be tired,
- but it's still true. I still speak for me, only. And if the topic has
- changed, change the heading! Also, as I mentioned, my state network is
- pre-historic at 56kbs for the WHOLE state, all schools and others. My usenet
- feed was running late, and sporadic. They plan to update the network to T1
- this or next week, so that problem will go away. So if I am slightly
- out-of-sync, it's not my fault, (at least this time!). :-)
