I agree! Europe does not deserve our trash. 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!!! :-)
