Ok, so I have to see for myself!  It's after midnight, so lets see if this
gets posted.  By the way... if the CIA monitor the newsgroups that close,
then you'd think they have to have someone employed that does nothing but
monitor newsgroups!?  I'd like to get one of those jobs monitoring one of
the A2 groups!  That way I wouldn't need my "real" job, and I could spend
more time programming the GS.... oh well...
