TOTALLY OFF TOPIC I could not resist; I am sorry. Some people will be disappointed with me. 'Hot Subjects at Jan 24 1998 5:05PM Did Slick Boink Monica? Replies: 532, Latest: Jan 24 1998 5:04PMCoffee Shop Score: 1240%' Never seen such a high score. More than 500 posts in just 4 days! Amazing. (in continental Europe; most people are amazed about all the fuzz; though they do not agree with your presidents behaviour. Just think of the funeral of President Mitterand of France - his mistress, and the daughter of this relation walking in the state funeral along with the wife). b.t.w. such a high score might happen with Y2K threads when the panic hits.
