bleah! That IS dumb. By the way, I am the "anonymous" that first posted this; sorry
for the confusion. You see, I have to keep switching my netscape "identity"
settings back and forth between anonymous with an email address of ano### [at] anoncom,
to Eiki Martinson/dumpms@gate.net. This is because I fear, rightly or wrongly, that
these settings are also available to web pages. Time to get off of netscape for my
mail and news needs, I think.
