You get me wrong Duncan, what I object to is *Google* claiming the right to the contents of Google Groups (they want to own the world right?) and if my stuff were in there I'd be very unhappy. I try my best to keep it out for that reason, I have no problems with standing by what I post and I *always* post as me. -- Brian Morrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
