Again, I understand. (That's a record, BTW), and that's why I am only
going to alert a couple of people.
I have pieced together that many of the camille ilk already know, and
that's no big deal to me.
Like you say, we are all just screen names, mostly.<s>

Fucking story of my life.<s>
In any event, as this wasn't a "I'll trade you... for a copy of..."

BTW, the wayward veggie, Aub, has just turned me onto a thing called
the .ogg format for music files.
You familiar with that?
Only works on .wav files, or something like them, and reduces the file
size by 1/3, without loss of quality.
Very Interesting.
