Hi, Bob.

BL>  BL> You silly bugger. You're confused again, aren't you? You've
BL>  BL> been at the furniture polish instead of the Glenfiddich. It's
BL>  BL> sad to see a pedant go this way...

BL>  FM> Alt-Z is really a very minimal help, and I didn't spot the
BL>  FM> Alt-U combination.

BL>   Furniture polish does that to you. Next, you'll be missing the Alt-O
BL> and the end comes fast after that.

You must have more potent furniture polish than I. Can you netmail me
some please?

BL>  FM> No, I knew that. :-)

BL>  BL> It sounds like it was the only thing you *did* know. You
BL>  BL> certainly managed to get he rest comprehensively stuffed up
BL>  BL> with dogshit between the ears.

BL>  FM> Actually I didn't know that even. I was still thinking of Alt-O
BL>  FM> at that point. So what's the verdict? Does it or doesn't it?
BL>  FM> Alt-U that is. Dieter?

BL>   Dieter? How did he get into the act? He's too busy with his head up
BL> spiders' holes to give a sensible answer.

Dieter said it didn't work if you did Alt-U and later ran the TinyPoint
script. Or maybe you said that and Dieter said it did. I don't know.
Does it or doesn't it? Alt-U that is. Dieter?

BL>  FM> Not that the logs are of any use anyway.

BL>   "Any use" is an exaggeration. They're totally useless!

If Paul says, "Did you call at such-and-such a time?" I can go and look
it up in the log. Otherwise they're totally useless.

Regards, FIM.
