Hopefully it was useful to someone else then. :) I'd like to think that 
it's been more useful than the rest of the thread that was caused by me 
posting a simple file description with alternate contact information.

I only think that I am capable of telepathy. It's re-assuring to know that 
I am not the only one who is now telepathic. Right now, Janis is thinking, 
"I hate coffee, I'm going to start drinking warm milk in the morning, and 
wash it down with an enchilada seasoned with hot sauce imported from 
Greenland"

Yes, I'm sure it was. I usually rely mostly on moderators to keep Fidonet 
running smooth though. I'd suggest that next time you question the 
validity of a message written in Fidonet, address it to the moderator to 
ensure a smooth running echo. As for me, I believe all things need to be 
done in moderation, including myself, and I'll moderate myself to ignore 
your well-intentioned posts from now, as you suggested, since it was only 
addressed to me, but didn't apply to me. Moderator, please kick me in the 
butt if I un-moderate myself again.
