I'd like to thank the digest's readers for your patience while I've been learning how to post UUCP files and all the other things Usenet moderators do without thinking. I hope I'm now up to speed.
I've spent the last five nights trying to figure out why Inews keeps telling me that I don't have permission to post: I think I've got the problem licked, so you'll see a lot of the backlog posted soon.
My thanks to both John Levine and Paul Schleck for their help and advice.
Bill Horne
