Most will not care which is fine. To those who have shared their knowledge,
experience and goodwill, thanks and fare thee well. May your seed always
germinate, your tomatoes be tasty and your flowers waft their perfume over
your life.

For someone who claims to be subsribed for as long as you claim you
are demonstating an exceptionately shallow intellect... usenet is no
different now from how it's always been. All anyone can hope to get
from any Newsgroup is as much as they contribute. Perhaps you are
simply too full of yourself because over the years you've contributed
very little, nothing meaningful other than your self absorbed
claptrap. Adios and don't let the door hit your ignorant ass.
