LTC - superbingo!!!! :-)

Thanks for all the flames. I like them. I printed them and do now have a
nice new wall paper. Thanks guys, I love you...

LTC, I think you're the only one who understood what SHS was saying. I
see that this last sentence can be easily misunderstood and I also read
it several times ebfore posting it. however, since I wanted to post the
unmodified, I didn't comment it. But I KNEW what would happen..:)
Of course, you may proceed on the assumption that they intentionally
wrote such a mysterious thing. IMSDVOAHO, why may SHS not join the big
flame party?

Honestly speaking, I'm a bit surprised about the hefty "feedback". So
cool down, read it again, and if you still think they are bashing GNO,
enter the loop again. (Call me when you're stuck in an infinite loop.)
