   Actually, for my link to Eternal September, this should work out well.    
   However, I don't believe news.ecomstation.nl requires a username or password   
   to post.  I will, though, double check on this today and verify that statement   
   just to be on the safe side.   
      
   As always, thanks, Janis :)
