BL> The other thing that gives me the shits is the way that

 BL> do a search quadruples!

 DM> Better behaved programs use the %PATH% statement, rather than

  Yair... but that still puts them at the head of the queue!

 BL> The part that amazes me, is how his genes survived the early
 BL> settlers. I'd have thought they'd poison his ancesetors, first.

 DM> Typical, give the poms a job to do, and they can't even get
 DM> that part right.

  Pommie bastards.... too busy whinging about gum trees. They couldn't
see the Charlie Perkins for the trees.

 DM> And have no ears.

 BL> ROFL! Ear, ear... the eyes have it.

 DM> Aye, Captain.

Bob
