I humbly beg your collective pardons. We recently downloaded Opera and I
have been reading the newsgroup opera.page-display (news host: 
opera.nta.no). I guess one can't believe everything one reads. Of

slashes were to be used for news as well.

I now stand corrected and promise that I will never again put my oar in
where it doesn't belong.
