To correct in public what I saw as a factual error being made in public. By correcting it in public, I aim to avert others erroneously taking it as fact. > It seems to be entirely off-topic. No more off-topic than the attributed quote, included in a signature block in a message in this forum. I recognise that by doing so I was embarking on an entirely *different* topic from the message itself, which is why I changed the Subject field: to allow people to know that the subject of discussion had changed. -- \ Hercules Grytpype-Thynne: “Well, Neddie, I'm going to be | `\ frank.” Ned Seagoon: “Right, I'll be Tom.” Count Moriarty: | _o__) “I'll be Gladys.” *slap* —The Goon Show, _World War I_ | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
