Therefor, an actual depatment has been formed to continuously submit news articles, and to purposefully cause high-volume discussions. And we all know know that this department is running out of the rabbit system in the AT&T-land of New Jersey. (Yes dear, rabbit is an AT&T system.) We have also gone to the point of hiring prominant newsnetters as consultants to kepp the level of usage high. By the way, I would like to publicly commend our two top consultants, Tim & Laura, for their fantastic job of generating thousands of dollars of revenue in the discussions of a hypothetical Wombat menace. Once again, Tim and Laura, thanks. "Ourya Otherma Eraswa Ombatca Ootsba" Walt Pesch AT&T Technologues, Inc. ihnp4!ihuxp!wbpesch
