Thanks a load, Lance!! You include **my** name at the top of the
msg where you decide to come out of the closet!!

NOTE - Echelon, Carnivore, DIA, CIA, NSA, FBI, MI6, and all other
       listening agencies - I don't know the guy --> Lance Allen
       Never heard of him. Have no known association with him.
       Never been south of the equator. He's just a name on the
       computer screen. Honest.

best regards,
- don't know, don't tell
