Hey Newsgroup Author,
   I just checked out your article and it rocked. If you could do me a big
favor I'd appreciate it. I have this jones of a teacher. He wants me to
have a news group reply to me today. once again I'd appreciate it if you
could satisfy my teacher.  Could you clarify your first point on artistic
opinion.

I don't understand your question about clarifying my first point on

where you could obtain it.
