Would _have_ been, you ignoramus.  ('Of' in that context is meaningless.) 
You've been too long exposed to foreigners who cannot speak the lingo, proper
like.

Not really.  In late '94 David's favourite NC at the time insisted that I had
to formulate a 'direct' netmail application for nodelisting, using a ~/999
address.  He would not accept an application from my point address off of my
boss.

Cheers,
Paul.
