  I'm not a enough of a Usenetite to know how to make these things happen, and I'm not interested in investing any signifigant time in it, but perhaps some of the "old time" a.c.h.h'ers could get it done.

  Oh, incidentally, the Usenetite known as Sir Launcelot du Lak (who posts occasionally on csipg.rpg) wrote a review of the first two CD's for Game Bytes magazine a couple of years ago. The review is still available online, if you're interested.

  Yes folks, I have a CD copy of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack. It wasn't easy to get either -- I had to part with six whole dollars for it. A harsh sacrifice, to be sure, but worth it, for now I have one more elusive Matthew Sweet non-album track available at my fingertips. "Huh?" I hear you all saying, "Matthew Sweet's never been on BtVS -- have you been dipping into grandpa's old cough remedy again?" Not so, good Usenetites, for you see, it's the movie soundtrack I have, not the upcoming TV soundtrack. It's all a big joke; deal.

  Well, that's where my Rule #3 applies (I'm formulating them officially now, for the benefit of my following, to make them easier to quote later): Usenetites, Entertain Thyselves.

  Thanx for your continued support, all you USENETites are great to do business with!

  People are still getting over Christmas, and will no doubt require a period of recuperation after the next great festival of Hic!.
  Then Usenetites will begin to emerge from hibernation or whatever. This is a very quiet period on all the groups I collect.

  Hey Usenetites!
  I have a horrible Python program to allow two people to chat with each other. It has horribly any functionality, but it is meant for the public to work on, not necessarily me. Anyways, here's a quick FAQ.
