well, then you have absolutely no idea of what you speak or attack... get

   FRONTDOOR HAS NOT BEEN KLUDGED TO BELIEVE ANYTHING.
   IT TRANSMITS WHATEVER IT FINDS IN THE "CONTACT NUMBER"
   FIELD IN THE NODELIST TO THE FOSSIL DRIVER. JUST LIKE

 DD> How many of those luddites are there in the current nodelist? 

i dunno... can't you tell? you seem to be one that is totally wrapped up in
