	Likely enough, at any time. I've thanked whatever gods there be, 
more times than I can count, for linux in general and this list in 
especial.

	On a subject where, just for once, I do have a professional 
opinion (as a historian of literature and of tongues), I have to say that 
is one of the best-written pages I have seen in many years on the Web. 
Many, many thanks for pointing it out! I'm in process of passing the word 
about it to several other lists.

	And at this point I have to beg your forgiveness in advance; I'm 
going to start another thread, called Telnet Confusion, to recognize the 
shift in original topic (and to make Pan indent things more visibly!).
