 "   \ ha      Well said, Joris.

It doesn't really matter WHAT you put in the FAQ; most people don't read
them anyway.

(I was away for three days and can't believe what has gone on in the
meantime! I wish I had time to read the rest of the things but I've only
got as far as the "A's" and I have to stop. Oh yes, and WELCOME BACK
JOAN. Glad to see you in here again. Nice new angels you did. If I have
to vote, I vote for the dark haired angel.)
