	No committes? That is going to be an awful surprise to the
committee members. 

	But if you to not like NS and MS don't take it out on me. Mongo
is but a pawn in the game of life.

	And I should obey orders to be polite. Following orders is not a
defense as you know. I did not realize Warp was der Feuhrer.

	And that is what I recommended all along.

machines. They are all dunderheads. Luddites in the old days.
Today they curse graphics capable machines on the most renouned
graphics website in the known universe. 

	Are we not impressed that these folks who have not the least
problem with at 1.2M grasphics file are making such an ego play
over 24 short lines of text? 

	Are we supposed to take these people seriously?
