I hate to break it to you, but my email address does not determine my
state of mind.  FYI, Winternet is a large ISP which was founded by Mike
Horwath, former operator of two major Apple II BBSes (hence the high 
proportion of c.s.a2 posters from there).  I expect this will taper off
RSN though, as Mike's been fired and replaced with the systems administration
equivalent of John Sculley (good for stock price, but mail, news, IRC, WWW,
and FTP are all in various states of crashing, much like the Mac's market
share....)

Illogical.  Humor is not rational, Captain. (Ok, I couldn't resist this...=)

[my .sig snipped, see it below]

>Now, this is an _acceptable_ sig!

Yes, sir.  It's fully McQuary-compliant, and contains no BUAFs, BUAGs, or
illegal W e d n e s d a y spacing.  (read alt.fan.warlord and you'll find a
pointer to a WWW site that explains those terms)

PS: in order to stay somewhat on-topic, there really will be an AZ 2.0, but
please don't email me about it (hell, email to me @winternet probably will
bounce right now anyway :)
