It was meant in the same spirit as the original post.  Check my
headers for a CC: line  ;-))

Looking more closely at the second post, I am now pretty sure it was
genuine.  My *most* sincere appologies if it was!

Actually, I was fooled, but not by your post.  I was just far to hasty
to notice that mv.com appears on *all* of the posts going through DJ's
gateway ... duh!

Anyway, this thread has gotten way out of hand, so follow up by email
if you feel the need.  Or just let it lie (till next year ;-).

Jason.
