Dishonest?  I don't think so ... if you want a little background, how about 
the fact that this is the fifth time in about as meny months that I tried
getting _some_ raction out of the net at all?  Until I got pissed-off and
figured out that people only react if you put explosives near them.

I did, and, lo and behold, reaction!  Now for those that claim I am a sociopath
and all sorts of other things, perhaps they are right .... I'm a newbie
as far as the net is concerned.  Do they have alternative suggestions?  I'm
willing to listen, believe it or not ...
