The last time that happened, some squatter grabbed it within the hour & 
wanted $500 to release it.  I don't know if my reply got to him, but it 
sure burned up a lot of copper getting there.  He has now gotten off it, 
letting his own claim expire, so if I can get my card thru the processing, 
it will be back as the link in the sig, which is where it started out 6 or 
7 years ago.  That I'll go sort in the morning as I consider declining a 
debit card with a 5 digit balance behind it as being 'very poor form'.

My web page: <http://gene.homelinux.net:6309/gene> should be up!

It occurred to me lately that nothing has occurred to me lately.

         law-abiding citizens.
