Since I have noticed that all the lists I'm subscribed to are almost silent, and since north america generates the majority of the traffic on these lists, I suspect there is something to do with "yours" doom days.
Could US citizens provide a calendar about the next "final days" so that one can remember to plan business only the day after the "last one"? It seems that you behave like Niels Bohr: a journalist seeing a horse shoe nailed above the door exclaimed: "Don't tell me that a scientist like you believe in such things!???", Bohr answered: "Of course not! But they say it works even if you don't believe in it..." You can start to remove the helmet and go out of the bunker... -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
