Until people use the distribution feature properly, they will keep getting it -- along with good stuff. I stand by my comments about the British Royalty and our news media. I have received quite a few supportive letters on the issue. I still haven't figured out what the purpose of Scott's message was? Are you agreeing, and trying to make a second point, or are you suggesting that I am wasting bandwidth by sending this to Europe as well? I am curious if other European countries (outside of Britain) spend as much time on this frivolity as we do? An interesting (to me) add on: I heard on some show that they are expecting a baby boom in England because good old Di has made it fashionable to have children again? I find this somewhat preposterous! Until now I considered her harmless, but if she causes a population explosion, she could ultimately cause WWIII!!! :-) -- -=> Avi E.
