A note about posting personal information... remember that everything
posted in this and all other groups is preserved for ever in many
archives around the world. Some, like Google, allow anyone to look up
anyone else's postings. Others, like National Security of %country%,
don't normally permit access... Some may honour headers like
"X-No-Archive", others don't.

Most news-posting programs will let you delete a posting that you made -
but most archives don't carry out the deletion, they archive it!

So basically, if you post anything, assume that the person you least
want to read it just did.

That is right and that is why I tried to think of the best thing I could
think of for Nicole, although I'm not delighted with having my addy out
there either, but if that never happened we would never write personal
letters to each other, and I know I have quite a few "much cherished"
friends that I have made from this group.

Anyway, you guys, listen to Uncle Andy.
