This is my third attempt at posting this. The new postnews is a joke in itself. I got an item of e-mail this morning, apparently as a result of the two civil servant jokes I posted recently. I couldn't read either the text (if there was any), or the source, since it was thoroughly messed up by the system, but I suspect it was a flame from a Canadian (or other sensitive person) who was offended by my reference to Canadians in the jokes, so allow me to explain: The jokes refered to Canadian civil servants because I first heard the in Canada, from a Canadian civil servant, while I was working for the Canadian civil service in Canada. They were not intended to be offensive to Canadians, and only mildly offensive to Canadian civil servants. However, I love being offensive to the uncivil serpents we have here in Chicago. I'd like to see them all condemned to use the new postnews for 6 hours a day. "the paranoiacs are out to get me" W. Berg ihnp4!ihuxq!wberg
