They're just excited about it because it had to do with AOL. Lamers, all of them. Dang, time for another.. ObHack: Today a message should start being propagated around Usenet that I sent via port 119 to my news server on Wednesday. It's just now going to start propagating because I post-dated it to today. Just a test, really, to see if my suspicion that if you set the Date header to the future, your message will be delayed till then and then sent, is right. I discovered this oddity by accident when I posted a message with Date 1999, wonder if that will ever appear :) ~~~ Sean Logan "There's no 'them' -- it's all us" sean@wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us http://wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us/~sean/spam-faq.html
