New Year's Resolution - Learn Modern Perl - and how to use a mail reader ;)

[Richard Foley]

Ah, I think I had the same problem, Sue. I now see that Martin retracted his
comment, probably because it was supposed to be funny, but didn't sound correct
without the context. Then I replied to him without seeing the other replies,
(which placed it in context), including yours...

And so on. It would be funny if it wasn't so (coughs) embarrassing.

ps. I can recommend mutt ;)
