Kevin moved to an OS called ROM-DOS. (Don't ask me! ;-) Then, while I was 
downloading mail one day, it would appear that his modem skipped retirement 
and went straight to the grave. What're you gonna do, eh? 

Back to topic, that bleach is going to take out the smell, and likely the

that might discourage further squatting.
